Good point. It will be important for everyone to stay cognizant of the fact that the next announcer will be a successor, not a replacement. No one could ever "replace" Tom Durkin.

I followed Tom when he left Gulfstream after the 1999 season. Felt like every eye and ear was on me 24/7. Huge responsibility.
