The Homeless Man with the Golden Voice
A Columbus, Ohio resident has experienced a metamorphosis in his life this week.
Ted Williams, a veteran of the United States Army and a father to nine, has gone from homeless, unknown and unemployed, to famous, with many job offers from companies like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and a full-time position as an anouncer for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Ohio basketball team has now offered him a free house.
Williams has admitted to being a user of cocaine, crack and alcohol since 1993, but says he has been clean since 2008.
He came to be an overnight sensation when a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch recorded him holding a sign at the Hudson Street offramp of Interstate 71. He has an amazing, deep and strong announcing voice, as well as a humble disposition. At the debut of this new year, a man has been given a second chance at life.
