I sad to report Paul Harvey, great radio voice died on Saturday, 2/28/09 at age 90 in Arizona.
I'll miss his news and comments daily feature, as well with the "rest of the story."
He was with ABC radio networks for many, many, many years. Paul Harvey could be heard on many stations with different formats. Besides the news/talk stations, you could hear Paul Harvey on country music stations, lite rock stations, even Hot AC stations. Thus, if you were not a regular listener of Paul Harvey, you would have listen to his features, one way or another. He had his unique way of speaking with his "rest of the story" feature.
As he would end Paul Harvey News, "Good Day!"
