I remember when I was a very young grease monkey working in Kenner La. Hot summers and cold winters, but we had a little shack to eat our lunch in. It wsa about six of us. One of the men had rigged up a speaker out of an old truck to a transistor radio, they both hung there on a nail. Every day we would sit there and listen to”The Rest of The Story”. It was pure amazement coming out of that little speaker! I really hated how fast our half hour went by! It would be nice if I could have appreciated it as much then, as I do know. Well may God bless you and all of yours…….no, I ain’t gonna say it, but, good night!

I don’t believe Paul Harvey made a mistake when referring to the young lad as dark haired. He added that into the story to keep you wondering if he was talking about Elvis. Most people see Elvis as having black hair and didn’t know Elvis had Sandy blonde hair. So Mr Harvey kept the story with black hair on purpose to keep from explaining that Elvis had blonde hair and later dyed it black. No mistake Mr Harvey knew what he was doing!

My life and career was fostered on the talents and career of this fine man. In the 1960's I'd wake up early every single morning to listen to Paul's broadcast as my father ate his morning breakfast, hours before school, hours before I needed to wake up, but simply because it was "Today's Lesson, from Paul Harvey." that was 1964, in 1972 I went to work at PBS as a news writer, in 1973 as a senior reporter and chief commentary reporter. In the years between 1978 and 2004 I worked for nearly every major television network around the world, in 2005 I produced and directed the largest and broadest reaching live corporate news event in world history (Guiness Record) and still today, I produce live surgical television broadcasts to train physicians all over the world to promote better and safer medical practices. Humble beginnings... Fostered and Mentored by the man from Tulsa, Oklahoma and a young, wide-eyed boy who wanted to become a newsman. ..Now you know, the rest of the story.

Always good to hear Paul's stories. He was a master of the "pause" and "cadence" his method of storytelling was known for. Don't really hear that today, do we? In Rush's time-slot today we hear a most fast talking host who, though some content is OK, loses me as a listener because I don't particularly care for fast talkers. Some words need to be chewed on before swallowing and Paul Harvey's stories were fed in a manner that allowed just that to occur. One of the first comments above was about "we should all listen to 'If I were the Devil'". This story is so appropriate for today and also fits exactly into the current scenario of our country and society in general. If you wanted to destroy........then this is what I'd do. (and it's being done)

That was a great way to explain Mr. Harvey's delivery style. "Some words need to be chewed on before swallowing..." I don't think I've ever heard it put this way but it's perfect. Thank you for sharing that. :)

I got to go to a Paul Harvy talk. I was shocked when he came on stage. I had never seen him just heard his voice. He didn't like anything as I imagined. That is how it was with the radio. You got to just imagine how the persons looked.. Heck I even knew what the Green Hornet looked like. :)

I remember walking home from my elementary school to eat my lunch. Paul would come on daily at noon on the radio station. After the missile ordeal in Cuba, I remember all of America was so worried that we were close to going into another war, this time with Russia. I remember Paul asking the people hearing his broadcast who had prayed to God that everything would work out, that afterwards when all was good if we thanked God for the outcome. I did, and remember to this day.
