Welcome fer'shur .. and I would have enjoyed seeing that interview.

> Paul Harvey is also a favorite of mine. I always learn something when I

listen to him.

Not sure when he was born but he began his career in radio in 1933 while

still in high school so I reckon he has to be around 87-88 years old.

He joined the US Army Air Corps after Pearl Harbor and served till 1944

and now Paul Harvey News is the largest one-man network in the world,

consisting of over 1200 radio stations, 400 Armed Forces Network

stations that broadcast around the world, and 300 newspapers.

I love his comment about his age .. " When the engine's running, don't

check the carburetor. " ;-)

The old boy is controversial .. but he still rules the airwaves.

Wishing him well I am .. and hoping y'all make the movie. :-) Butch
