And holy cow, he also had the worst voice for speaking. I heard him at the 1978 International Assembly. Very thin, reedy voice, difficult to listen to.
I would call it a wailing banshee voice.

Hrumph!!
I've heard that this situation swings both ways - er, 'flip-flops'...
Sometimes JWs are told it's O-K to read the "older" literature; sometimes the Watchtower quotes from older literature....
But I remember as a child, in the early 1960s, picking up the Rutherford book "Children" from the Kingdom Hall library as my parents were having a shallow chit-chat with an overseer or whatever the heck they were called back then.
As I was reading the book, the adults eventually noticed what I was doing, and they snatched that book out of my hands like it was on fire. I was sternly told that we were "not to read" those older books...
That would have been around 1962 - 1963, if I recall correctly.

St George of England
Freddy Franz talk - 1955. Possibly his voice had changed by 1978. The last time I heard him would probably be in the 1960's. Can't remember much other than he went over time and came back to give the longest concluding prayer in memory.
