Paul Harvey - Thank you Paul

With the passing of Paul Harvey, I wondered if his broadcasts were part of your life as they were mine. It's no doubt that I planned my drive to work and lunch time around Paul Harvey News and Commentary.

I first heard Paul back in my Army days in the late 1970s. We had a carload of FTAers (F.T.A. is something real close to Foul The Army) whose drive from the barracks to work included Paul's News. He chose news of interest, good and bad, sprinkled with commentary. I always likened it to a bunch of us sitting around a small town cafe listening to a farm-country radio station, somewhere next to cornfields, crows and cows.

Everybody's friend, all family. How many times throughout the years we heard him mention at broadcast's end, that he had a "date with an Angel". Of course, that was his wife Lynne, his Angel, who passed just this last year, too. He shared with us his pride of the accomplishments of Paul Jr., who penned much of the news and Rest of the story scripts.

Guess I thought he was like the favorite uncle who you always thought would be around.

The end-of-week-broadcasts always started with "Good morning Americans... it's Friday!" Always sounded good! And often that Friday broadcast would end with him saying he'd be at his beloved ranch named 'Revelry'. Guess Him and Angel are sittin' on the porch up there right now.

Thanks Paul.
