PAUL HARVEY, brother, where art thou?

F

fb219

Paul Harvey has been AWOL for a long time..... what's up?

Is he ill?

I realize he's almost 90, but as far as I know, he hasn't officially retired.

Anyone have any info?
 
Re: PAUL HARVEY, O brother, where art thou?

Yes, best wishes to them both.

Nevertheless, it is probably time for him to pass the bataan.

For the last few years, he's been like a wise-old grandfatherly elder statesman who
shared pearls of wisdom and perspective to younger generations.

Now, though, at age 90, he's appearing more like a pathetic old has-been who couldn't
give it up, and didn't know when to leave.

There's a lot in knowing when to exit.
 
A friend and I met Paul Harvey in the elevator of the Stone Container building on Michigan Ave in 1975 or so, one winter day when we were
there to visit WLS AM/FM in the same building. He said good morning, and I as a radio youth knew exactly who he was, and we
exchanged a few words. I was 14 or 15, and he seemed pretty darned old then. But the sharpest -dressed person we saw that day.
I was totally in awe. I hope he reliquishes his microphone at the last possible minute.
 
Paul is due to return to the microphone on April 25.

There is a mention of his return in the news section. Right now, it's on radio-info's front page. The article says that Mitt Romney is filling in for Paul tomorrow (4/10/08).
 
well the CHICAGO SUN TIMES reports 'conflicting reports' as to his whereabouts.....

**************
Paul Harvey, the Chicago-based radio icon, has been off the air since Feb. 29 -- his longest absence since 2001 when he was treated for a vocal cord problem.

While a variety of substitutes have been filling in for the 89-year-old Harvey, bosses of ABC Radio Networks are sending mixed signals to affiliates.

One executive said Harvey was away caring for his wife, Lynne "Angel" Harvey, who has leukemia. Another executive said Harvey was recovering from pneumonia. A third said he was out with bronchitis.

apparently he's more 'ill' than they're letting on :\
