A tribute
“Golf is a game in which you yell "Fore!", shoot six, and write down five”

“If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9 times out of ten it will.”

“In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.”

“I've never seen a monument erected to a pessimist.”

“Like what you do, if you don't like it, do something else.”

“If 'pro' is the opposite of 'con' what is the opposite of 'progress'?”

“In times like these, it is helpful to remember that there have always been times like these”

“Retiring is just practicing up to be dead. That doesn't take any practice.”



Does anybody besides me miss Paul Harvey? All of the above quotes are by him. Ever since I learned to drive, if I was in my car at 7:30 AM, noon, or 6 PM, I would turn the radio to whatever channel he was on. In college, I would sit in my car and finish listening to the 7:30 broadcast before getting out and going to class. I especially liked the 6:00 one - The Rest of the Story. Sometimes I would get to feel smart by guessing what it was about before he got to the surprise ending.

We lost a class act when we lost Paul Harvey.
