Poor Republican

I’m taking a break from politics today to say thank you and goodbye to Paul Harvey.  I’ve listened to him for so long that I can’t remember when I didn’t.  That’s probably because he was on the air before I was breathing it.

His The Rest of the Story segments kept me glued to the radio every time they came on.  He had a singular voice, a unique cadence to his speech, and a common-sense “every man” way of speaking.  I hated it when I missed his segments, and when I heard someone else reading them it never felt right.

I even remember hearing them overseas on Armed Forces Radio Network.

Like Chick Hearn and Harry Caray, there is no one to fill his shoes because nobody can.

We’ll never again “know the rest of the story.”

Thanks for being a part of my life and so many others, Mr. Harvey.  May God bless and keep you.

You earned it, sir.
