“God has given Eddie Doucette many great gifts. Among them is a lilting voice and the ability to paint a verbal picture while describing the action that he is covering. Eddie has great enthusiasm and imbues the listener with a warm feeling. Much of this comes through his great sense of humor. In my judgment Eddie Doucette is peerless.”
