Rest of the Story

Paul Harvey passed away today at the age of 90. He was preceded in death by his wife, Angel, who passed in May 2008. They married in 1940 and she was a major influence in his career. She was also the first producer inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.

In this trying time of economic recovery his observations will be missed. His candor, great use of the dramatic pause, variety of material and many more things made him a master of reporting. We shall miss him and his signature sign off, "Good day."



"Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me.
The Carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality"

~Emily Dickinson
