Paul Harvey 1918-2009

Rest in Peace.

He helped us learn "the rest of the story" for many many years. Started with ABC radio in 1951.

:frown: I was a big fan of his noon-news. Sigh.

I loved Paul Harvey. I use his line at buffet dinners. when I'm going back for seconds, it's always "And now, Plate 2" in my best Paul Harvy Voice.
I always loved his news segments and "the rest of the story".
91. that's a pretty good run. May he forever be remembered.

I listened to him for years. The funniest story I ever heard him tell was the one about the guy in a Batman costume. Anyone else remember it?

 

[Guest]

Was that the story where the guy jumped off the high boy dresser in the batman suit and forgot about the paddle fan?

That's th' one... his wife's cries for help were involved, too.

:SNORK:

He will be missed.

 

[tomshobby]

That is the one. I still laugh when I recall it!

The man himself said it best: "This is Paul Harvey - g'day! "
