Sitting in a Cold, Lonely Hangar in Iwakuni at 3 a.m.
...our night crew would always stop when AFN would rebroadcast "The Rest of the Story". We all loved Paul Harvey's segments, like nothing else on that sorry network.
Paul Harvey, the legendary radio host whose career sharing "the rest of the story" with listeners spanned more than 70 years, has died, according to ABC Radio Networks.
He was 90.
Immortal, more like. I thought he was.
R.I.P. and thanks, Mr. Harvey ~ from one of the millions in uniform who looked forward to hearing your voice.

He was a radio icon and, based on everything I have read or heard about him, he was a gentleman.
R.I.P.

Ah, I listened to him often, especially growing him.
Vale, Mr. Harvey.

His rest of the story was always fascinating.
