Paul Harvey Obit

Because I worked at WERC Radio in Birmingham for so long, and because radio still runs in my blood, I felt it personally this evening when word of Paul Harvey's death arrived. He was 90...no immediate cause of death revealed. I believe we were carrying Harvey on WERC when I started there in 1976...somewhere along the way---years later--- his commentary moved to WAPI, where it stayed till his death. As Program Director at WERC, I learned quickly that one way to generate angry calls was to somehow miss Harvey fifteen minute broadcast at Noon or his afternoon "Rest Of The Story". There aren't too many radio legends anymore, but Harvey was certainly one for decades.
