We Will Miss You Paul Harvey!

As inspirations go, Paul Harvey was the great stuff
of Urban Legend. Those Golden Pair Shaped Tones that can
only be described as uniquely distinctive for his entire
Radio Career...ended yesterday at 90 years old. As we
all know 90 is the new 70.....so even at that age Paul
Harvey has been suddenly taken from us all.

His "Rest of the Story" vignettes were heard on over 1200
radio stations around the nation and the world. Wisdom
and caring understanding were Harvey's hallmarks. His
willingness to get to the underbelly of any story was
truly a special quality of that every investigative reporter
who ever earned his salt. In awe and wonder we listened to
the inimitable Harvey surprise us with those tricky or
unexpected ending of tales we thought we knew all about.

Paul Harvey was an Okie, with strong mid-west values and
spent most of his career...starting at 14 years old in
Chicago. In the 80's they even gave Paul Harvey his own
street. Paul Harvey made our world kinder, more supple,
more wise, more tender and especially more conscious of
the many complexities possible, of even the most common
good deed.

Paul Harvey.....we will miss you. You were one of a kind
and the kind of person we would always want to know. We
never met you in person....but we know how special that
would have been. For all those that did have that pleasure..
share your experiences with others. Anyone, would want to
know more about........Paul Harvey!
