charlie has never gotten a penny. for years from now, are you right back here? i am thinking about retiring when i m 120. that was four years ago. this year donald trump fired him. he is 89 years old. he s been the announcer at every inaugural parade since ike in 57. he s done it for 60 years. he s great at it. incidentally, he says the preparation he was already doing for this year s parade has been the only thing keeping him going since the loss of his wife of 65 years, just a few weeks ago. but donald trump doesn t want him. the transition apparently sent him an e-mail firing him. he told cnn, quote, i felt le mohammed ali had hit me in t stomach. he said when he read the e-mail he thought, quote, he was going to commit suicide. he told the abc affiliate in washington he was heartbroken and destroyed. but he s fired. they have given the job, instead, to a trump supporter, who they say is a guy who has done some freelance announcing. but our inaugural announcer
