Re: And the rest of the story
That is sad to hear, though he lived a very full life. He definitely had a great impact on mine from an early age. His show was one of the few things my father would listen to religiously.
Paul Harvey had more common sense in his little finger than many of us will ever hope to achieve.
RIP.

One of my favorites to listen to on my lunch hour. He was a one of a kind that can never be truly replaced on the airwaves.

He will be sorely missed. i used to listen to him all the time, then the local radio station quit carrying him. another station picked him up, but they are far enough away my radio in teh office could not hear them.

RIP Paul Harvey. A very popular local radio station carried his 3 messages (9am, 12:30pm & the 3pm "the rest of the story") 5 days a week and businesses would practically come to a hault while he spoke.
Of all his stories, this one has always stuck with me.
He told it about 15 to 20 yrs a go.
There were two HS basketball teams battleing it out for a regional championship (I think) and they were so perfectly matched that neither team could get more than a 2 point advantage. There was an equal number of players on each team, same for cheerleaders and even the spectators. As even a contest as there ever was.
The game came down to a last shot. The game was so close and exciting that no one dared to leave the court for fear of missing something. So just before this last shot, a shot that could win it for the home team, a fan of the visiting team couldn't hold it anymore and he got up and ran out to the restroom. This left the home team with a one person advantage and when the shot was launched, all the folks for the home team began to pray that he hit it while all the fans of the visiting team began to pray that he'd miss. Well, since the home team had the one person advantage their prayers won out, the shot was made and the home team won
I may have some of it wrong but the "gist" of the story is correct

Another great radio voice of the people (my kind of people anyway) passes. Precious few coming along to take his place in his gentlemanly gentle style. Sadly, now there's another 15 minutes of free time for Hydro just before noon...
