We know him as George Cook, who followed in the huge footsteps of Norm Fletcher as the play by play man for NSU sports from 1979-87.
Up in West Virginia, he's known as Don Cook, because the management at the radio station he joined there in 1987 thought Don would be best received.
Reading the story below, there's no doubt he's been well received around the state.
But right now he's fighting for his life with a very tough cancer. This story in the Charleston Daily Mail tells the tale well. You may have to paste the link into your browser to get to the story:

George has improved and is going to be leaving the hospice to enter a rehabilation center aiming to get him able to function at home. That move to the rehab center could come any day. When it does, we'll provide contact information in case you want to reach out with notes, cards or even calls.
George and wife Linda were very active in the Natchitoches community during their years here. If you were around then, you probably remember "the Cookie Man" fondly.
