My friends, family and I agree that Kenn is the best LCO and announcer. He throws in some amusing comments at times and really takes control of the field. At the NSL 2018 it was quite apparent Kenn is the best.

I think Vern's opinion of Kenn improved once Kenn learned the correct pronunciation of "Estes". B)

I have always pronounced it as Esteeze. I have heard some people pronounce it as Estis. I don't know which one is correct. I guess I could call Estes customer support and listen to how they answer the phone.
