A legend is gone
I wish I could have bottled up the charm and many spellbound minutes Paul Harvey gave me listening in the car on long rides as he would tell great stories like these.
Daisy and WZZP...growing up in Massillon, I used to hear Paul Harvey on WHBC in the morning and early evening.
Hearing Paul Harvey do news and commentary and then Ed Johnson give the ag-report made my night time listening. I had the great fortune of meeting Ed Johnson a few years ago and he was such a class act who lived life and broadcast with such passion. You couldn't help but feel how much he loved what he did.
I use this space to share thoughts about education, media, politics, and life in general.

My mom listened to Paul Harvey on the radio every day for years and years when I was growing up. He will be missed by many.
Great post. Thanks for the memories.
