RIP Paul Harvey

[AggieDave 6]

I'm probably the only person under the age of 50 that really enjoyed Paul Harvey, but he just passed away and I'm going to miss him. Even though he hasn't really done his show in a while, I still listened.

And to Paul Harvey, good day!

You're not the only one under 50 that liked him. Where are we going to hear "The rest of the story" now?

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard.

I have very fond memories of listening to him with my dad. Even as a kid he was able to keep my attention, not an easy task for anyone, especially someone talking on the radio.

BTW, I'm only 34.

Blue Skies,

I loved listening to "...the REST of the story." And I am quite well below the age of 50.

RIP Paul Harvey

No, you're not. I always enjoyed his take on the news, and the "twist" at the end of "The Rest of the Story" was always worth the wait. Even though it wasn't him doing it for a while, it was still good.

I used to listen to him when I was in college in 1970!

Always enjoyed his show.

Well, I guess "that's the end of the story".

I also see where Ed McMahon is circling the drain.

The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

I am another under 50 that listened to him regularly. I can remember riding around with my dad in a service van listening to him everyday in the summer.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

"Stand by for news!" and the news is, I am 40, and really enjoyed his show.

Wasn't his son doing it for a while? If so, I recall they had very similar voices...

The story that sticks out most in my mind was the story of the boy everyone called "Cinderella" because he was very tiny, and he later proved them wrong as he became world-renowned body builder, movie star and now Governor Schwarzenegger.

And now you know, my best attempt at the rest of the story.

When I was in my early 20's I worked at a factory in the mid-west that actually scheduled their lunch break so everyone could sit around and listen to 'The Rest of The Story'.

Became a habit that stuck with me for years...his brand of journalism is classic Americana, he will be missed.

For several years at work we would get our coffee and settle down just in time to listen to "The Rest of the Story." Those were riveting, brilliant pieces of journalism. He was, and will likely remain, unequaled in his field.

I heard a quote from him on the radio today: "I never saw a monument erected to a pessimist. Every pessimist who ever lived has been buried in an unmarked grave. Tomorrow has always been better than today, and it aways will be."
