> Terry Hayes Sales, a singer and actress who had recorded more than 900

> 1988, Sales was inducted into the American Foundation for the > Blind's
> Talking Book Hall of Fame, one of two living charter members cited >
> for significant achievement in the narration of talking books. > Sales
> had "this remarkable ability to tell a story," according to Steve >
> Mullins, studio director for the American Printing House for the Blind,
>> where Sales did her recordings. "She was very charming." With
> thousands of books recorded, all of them staying in circulation for >
> many years, narrators developed followers, Mullins said. "People, in
> some ways, grew up with her," he said. Among her work are three
> narrations of "Little Women," as well as most of > the Nancy Drew
> books. The recordings were produced for the National Library Service
> for the > Blind and Physically Handicapped, a division of the Library
> of Congress, > which honored Sales in 1998 for her dedicated service of
> more than 60 > years as a narrator. Sales likely was the narrator
> longest affiliated with the American > Printing House for the Blind,
> Mullins said. She began narrating in 1938, > just one year after the
> printing house released its first talking book, > "Gulliver's Travels."
> In 2006, though she was no longer a regularly > scheduled narrator at
> the printing house, Sales participated in the 75th > anniversary
> celebration and marathon recording session of that book with > 44 other
> narrators. Mullins said he was almost certain Sales was the only person
> to have made > the transition from the earliest recordings made on wax
> through the era of > tape and into the current digital age, recording
> on all mediums. > Sales was a high school sophomore when she landed her
> first professional > gig as a staff singer on WBBM radio in her
> hometown of Chicago. She met > Louisville native Stuart Sales while he
> was a student at the University of > Illinois, their son said, and they
> married in Chicago when she was 19. > While her husband later served in
> the Navy, she did a talk show on WGN in > Chicago as well as
> commercials and serial acting before the couple > returned to Louisville.
>
> In Louisville, she continued to sing on radio for both WAVE and WHAS. >
> According to her son, she inherited the show Dale Evans did at WHAS
> after > Evans left. She also appeared in some ensemble television
> casts, and was involved in > numerous local theater projects. When she
> heard about the talking books at the American Printing House for > the
> Blind, her son said she considered it an acting opportunity. > Sales
> also funded the launch of Audio Description at The Kentucky Center >
> for the Performing Arts in 1991 in memory of her husband, who died in >
> 1987. The program provides narrators who broadcast live descriptions of
>> the action onstage to audience members during performances. > She
> also was the voice on the center's 10th anniversary "Tour on Tape," >
> and co-wrote that script. A graveside service is planned for 10:30 a.m.
> on Wednesday at The Temple > cemetery. A memorial service will be held
> sometime next year, her son said. > Herman Meyer & Son funeral home is
> handling arrangements. Reporter Paula Burba can be reached at (502)
