I found out today that Paul Harvey passed away on Feb. 28, 2009.
I remember listening to that man almost every day when I was a kid, with his “rest of the story”. The way he told his news stories was unlike any other person.
I haven’t listened to Paul Harvey in I guess a year or two. I’m just not interested in the radio enough to map out my day around it, and be in a car at a specific time every day (since the car is the only place I listen to the radio).
When Paul Harvey was a young boy, he made radio receivers. At the age of 15, in 1933 he began working in a radio station in Tulsa. His job there was as a janitor and some fill in work and commercials. He has been involved in the radio, behind the microphone for over 3/4 of a century.
The man will be missed, obviously not often by me, since I don’t listen to the radio often. It’s so odd that he won’t be around to tell the news about the country’s first black president, (hopefully) the ending of the United States’ presence in Iraq, the end of this horrible recession…
It was just comforting to stumble onto 5 minutes or so of some witty, interesting news and at the end “….I’m Paul Harvey….good day!”
RIP, Paul Harvey
….good day!
