Good story, but lets not act like this guy is a success story. He got lucky. Best of luck to him, but it's not like he pulled himself up by his bootstraps.

This is more of 2nd chance for him, as Ted Williams was trained in radio and journalism since he was 14. Another article told his life story. He went to college, worked in Radio and doing voice overs as a career, but his life was derailed by drug addiction and alcoholism, and he lost his way entirely, becoming homeless when he was about 55 years old.
One Article says Ted can't quite remember how long he had been on the streets, but based on events he described from when he was still in radio, the author guessed that he had been homeless about 15 years.
Hope he makes the most of his second chance to get back on the air.
