The Rest of the Story :Paul Harvey 1918-2009


Noted broadcaster Paul Harvey died today. The broadcaster was known for his folksy ,down home Oklahoma banter.His columns and broadcasts were very popular in the pre world wide web age. Harvey's commentary was very popular from the 1951-1980's. the 1960's.Harvey was instrumental in his support of Republican policies .
Harvey was known for signing off his commentary ,with the phrase ,"that's the rest of the story".Among the honors that Paul Harvey received was the Presidential Medal Of Freedom from President George W. Bush. As a admirer of broadcasting ,I admire a classic story teller.Harvey was a class act in broadcasting where in these days of bluster ,the Rush Limbaugh's rule.Rest In Peace -Paul Harvey. To paraphrase Paul Harvey,"America you now know the rest of the story".
