    And Now You Know... The Rest of the Story

    Paul Harvey, an American radio icon, has died at 90. What a long life he lived and how many people he touched. And how many people's stories he relayed on to the masses. RIP.
    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

    I used to love hearing his "Rest of the story" stories on the radio. RIP Paul.
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

    To my own personal thoughts on him, I'm a public and news radio junky, so I listened to him a lot, even as a kid. His show was one of those that would keep me in the car long after I turned the engine off, so I finally could hear "the rest of the story". He had a great voice, and was a great story teller. I also loved his ads, he voiced most of his sponsors products himself, always with his own way of telling it like it was. I used to love trying to guess who or what "the rest of the story" was. I remember being in a Goodwill store just browsing, not buying anything. They had Harvey on the public speakers, and I had finished shopping. I sat on the bench by the exit for 5 minutes while I listened to his tale of the day. I probably looked goofy sitting there staring off into space, but I loved it. What a guy.

    I first heard him on Armed Forces Radio in Japan. I didn't hear him as much once I returned to the States, but I always enjoyed him. My favorite thing that I heard him say: Be alert. American needs more lerts.

    Rest in peace, Paul Harvey.

    I still remember a bumper sticker of the week thing he read said circa 1983:

    "I'm a schizophrenic, and so am I!"
