Plus, of course, thick-rimmed glasses that gave a whole generation of imitators that owlish look. After 1961, when he felt compelled to quit because of his wife's death, he became just a memory. Yet even today, when a videophile hears a few bars of Sentimental Journey, Garroway's theme, the response can only be the Garroway greeting ("Hello, Old Tiger") or farewell ("Peace...
