R.I.P., Paul Harvey

Whether you agreed with his politics or not, it was hard not to admire Paul Harvey's skill at telling a story. I never cared much about his news commentary, but whenever I ran across him starting his five-minute "The Rest of the Story" I'd stop to listen if I could. His researchers were adept at finding backgrounders that the average listener wouldn't know, and his voice and timing in relating them was remarkable.

Isn't that the truth. I was so mad when KHVH switched to FOX and got rid of ABC. I so enjoyed his "Rest of the Story" as well. Rest in peace Mr. Harvey...you now are with your beloved Angel :)

I always enjoyed listening to Paul Harvey. And after reading about his long long career, have not changed my mind. I will miss the opportunity to hear him.
