Jar Multiloquent Registered: Wed Apr 11 2001 Posts: 4224 Loc: Texas USA	Not sure where to put this as we don't have a Forum for radio. Legendary broadcaster Paul Harvey passed a short time ago. He was 90 and was in broadcasting for 70 years. I will remember his common sense and humor and will miss hearing him daily. _________________________ If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying.

I wonder if his son will carry the torch now. _________________________ >^..^< "The big yellow one is the sun."

It will be sad not to hear his voice telling those wonderful stories.

I've listened to his folksy, common sense delivery and odd news stories for half a century. He was an institution in our family and I can't think of anybody who could fill his spot in the same way. May he rest in peace. _________________________ A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is just putting on its shoes - Mark Twain

But I remember so well, every day he aired, her announcement that: "Shhh. Everybody be quiet! Paul Harvey's on." He was an important part of many days, for a v-e-r-y long time. Rest in peace, Mr. Harvey. _________________________ "The best teacher is not the one who knows most but the one who is most capable of reducing knowledge to that simple compound of the obvious and wonderful." ...

Gats your story brought to mind the same thing with my father.

There wasn't a day that we missed his news stories. I found his website last year and found that you could listen to the past week's stories. He will be missed by so many. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.

He always had an opinion and always had the courage to put it out there in a very straightforward way. For that I admired him very much. RIP Mr. Paul Harvey, the airwaves will never be the same without you. Here's a clip of his I found recently that some of you might enjoy. I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYEFkYtANVg And another that may be of interest to history buffs, and elicit a bit of a chuckle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6Ix56RtLNM&feature=related Edited by tim10001 (Mon Mar 02 2009 08:05 AM)
