[story]

Veteran broadcaster, Radio Hall Of Famer, and radio pioneer Paul Harvey is dead, he was 90.

He had an estimated 24 million listeners on 1200 stations, and is credited with inventing the terms 'skyjacker' and 'Reaganomics'.

He was married to his wife Lynn for 68 years, she passed in May 2008.

There will no longer be a 'rest of the story'.15.gif

Good day.

Let no one yield, we're on the field where deeds eclipse the sun; where the brave are told on a thread of gold, the tapestry is spun. As they speak of dreams, their armor gleams, this calm before the storm... Where all can see their destiny, the bishop takes the pawn.

He will be missed.

Stupidity Should Always be Painful

 

the only thing that helps me maintain my slender grip on reality is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes.

    I read earlier he also coined the term 'guesstimate'. Museum of Broadcast Communications director Bruce Dumont called him ' the most listened-to broadcaster in the history of radio'.
