A radio announcer at Detroit's WXYZ starting in the 1930s, Hite's baritone enthralled listeners. "He could read you the phone book and make you want to buy the numbers," colleague Dick Osgood once said. Hite's voice is well known to anyone who listened to The Lone Ranger on the radio -- it was Hite who voiced the memorable intro, "From out of the past came the thundering hoof beats of the great horse Silver!" He also was in The Green Hornet radio show. He died February 19 in Florida at age 86.
