Trivia

Unflappable announcer and program host who began his career in 1937. He was the 'voice' for the Reynolds Aluminum Company for twenty-five years.

In his final decades, his rich voice hosted one of the classiest of local radio shows. He owned a station covering Dartmouth's toney hometown, Hanover, New Hampshire, where Rex hosted "Breakfast at the Hanover Inn," with interviews in the morning "coffee time." It was a great privilege for broadcasters to work for this always sharply dressed, superbly well spoken, tall, elegant gentleman.

Was involved in the start-up of New York television station WPIX (Channel 11) in 1948, and covered the Republican National Convention for the station that year; left after a year to go freelance, then returned in late 1967 to anchor its 10 P.M. newscast, staying in that position until mid-1968.
