He was truly a national treasure. I didn't realize there were so many people who were still interested in hearing his broadcasts. I feel at home with his fans. :)
In the 1970’s I had two years where my dad drove me to school at 7:20am. Paul Harvey came on the radio about 2 minutes later for our trip. KFBK am1530.
"Paul Harvey News and Comments...is brought to you by...City National Bank...and by Allen Lucas Datsun, where you can experience the brand new Datsun 280ZX...It is... Awesome." --WKAZ 950 AM, Charleston WV, 1978.
My dad loved Paul Harvey he rarely missed his is programs. My dad passed away on 12/24/98. And was wise beyond belief. Every time I hear Mr. Harvey's voice, brings back good memories of listening with my dad. Thank you for this
I remember listening to him on the way to my after-school job in high school back in the 70's. I always got a kick out of how he would say, "Page 2!", or "Good day!" There was another radio voice, Earl Nightingale, who was sometimes on as well and interesting, but I liked Paul Harvey better for sure.
I use to also listen to Christian radio. In the late 70's I use to go to the local pier off of Lake Erie and fish all night long while listening to a program called, "Night Sounds" It was just me and God on those lonely nights. I was 18 and just out of high school. On one of those nights my Mom walked out on that long pier after midnight, just to check up on me and make sure I was alright, even though I had left a note... lol. Those were the days..... " I mean..... nights....lol"
Thank you for sharing these. I enjoyed listening to Paul Harvey from the early 1950's until he finally retired. His voice still relaxes me and takes me back to simpler times.
Sounds like my Grandpa. He would go a couple days without saying anything. Then when he did speak, everybody stopped and listened attentively. You gotta wonder if that's not a strategy. LOL
I've always hated talking on the phone, Omigosh, a fate worse than death! Tied to a receiver, so geez, you'd think those cordless one's were a blessing-NOPE! Now we're like 'Captain Kirk', instant communicators, fun, but still "NOPE", not interested. I walk into the break room at lunch, everyone's head down, earplugs in, staring at this device....NOPE! I eat in silence, then go for a nice walk!!
@@BradDison My dining socialization doesn't extend that far, but I can well imagine. When you'd rather do that than "eat, drink, be merry" with family/friends......says so much about the decline of social skills.
Pity the young, who have never known, nor will ever know, the joy of slamming down the 📞 receiver onto the top of that trusty old Bell Telephone. Western Electric rotary dial bliss.
I can remember the feel of the bakelite headset in my hands. And the ding if you slammed the receiver down with too much force. Those things were almost unbreakable. :)
My favorite reply to someone who claimed they have fat fingers has been "Hey, I'll buy you a rotary phone and you can exercise the fat out of them." Sadly, there are fewer and fewer people every year who can get that joke.
@@brookskelley I can remember Grandma standing in the parlor with the earpiece on the cord attached to the crank telephone a-shoutin' into the mike at the bottom of the phone.

I grew up in Brantford Ontario Canada where Alexander Graham Bell made his first long distance phone call from Brantford ON to Paris ON. Close by today's standards but far back then. Paris ON is about 8 miles or 13km away from Brantford ON. Our local newspaper, the Brantford Expositor publishes letters from Alexander and his wife Mabel Bell (Nee: Mabel Gardiner Hubbard) from the Bell Museum and Homestead telling about the tale of the phone regularly and makes for an interesting read. Life was sure different back then.
I loved Paul Harvey! Enjoyed your humble spirit.... and no ads, or asking to subscribe, so I did anyway....lol. I also use to listen to Christian radio. In the late 1970's I use to go to the local pier off of Lake Erie and fish all night long while listening to a program called, "Night Sounds" It was just me and God, and the stars above, on those lonely nights.

That sounds like a wonderful memory. I’ve never heard of that program. I’ll see if I can look it up. I visited the Great Lakes when I was a kid but I’m desperate to visit again. :)
This reminds me of a similar story that I once read. The man in question was of no great importance, but he had similar views regarding the telephone. After much pleading from his wife to have one installed, he finally let one be placed in the basement. His condition was that he wasn't going to be the one to pay for the service. His wife assured him that she'd take care of it and she did. At first he wouldn't use it at all. Some time later he had heard that a friend (possibly also a coworker) was retiring from his job, and was very worried that the company was forcing him out. His wife asked, "Why don't you call him and find out?" The man grumbled something about the expense. She then asked, "Is your peace of mind worth a nickel?" He reluctantly agreed to use the phone, and learned his friend had made the decision to retire. Afterwards he said, "The telephone is a very remarkable invention, I never said it wasn't." I believe I read this story in an old Reader's Digest collection. This is a bit condensed, however I'm surprised I remembered this much.
Love the Reader's Digest.....I remember 40 years ago, cleaning out an old building and finding some RDs from maybe the 50s, 40s and maybe 30s. Some of the articles were still interesting ! 😊
My mother who survived the Holocaust hated telephones, and as a child we never had one. At16 she got a roommate and we moved to another place and the roommate said it is crucial that we have a phone. I enjoyed it so much I was on it all the time after school. 🤠
I hate cell phones. I am one of the few people in the whole world that has no cell phone. I choose to enjoy life. I watch the trees change colors, not look at some one's picture of a tree. I watch storm clouds coming, not take pictures of it. When I was a kid, we used to fight over the telephone. Not who was going to get it first, but who had to go answer it. We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the neighbors go by, kids playing, kites being flown, etc. People don't seem to do that anymore. They are too busy on their cell phones. I don't remember a conversation I had except for my wife or a few neighbors in the last few weeks. Sad isn't it?
I tried to avoid getting a cell phone but my job eventually required it. Like you, we fought over who was going to answer the phone. It depended what was on tv who fought harder to answer it. :)
@@BradDison Luckily I retired before they would have made me get one. I am so old fashion I would have made them get one for me. But then again, I had almost 30 years there. You have a great day.
When cell phones first came out, or shortly thereafter, my friends and workmates would poke fun, unbeknownst to the wearer, of the men who wore them on their belt. Soon after, we'd see men wearing two cell phones. The comments would be something like, "Mister big shot so important, he has to have two." Again, not out loud, but to ourselves, these comments were made. Soon after, my friends and I found ourselves sporting a cell phone on our hip. The fecituos remarks ceased. Within six months of the purchase of my personal phone, my job required I wear one. Often, they rang at the same time. Tethered, bummer.😢
I grew up working for Farmers. Paul was like a good Freind that you could listen to in the kitchen or the Barn keeping your mind on your work while taking it off your troubles. Your rebroadcast of his show does the same Via my phone.😁👍
I'm very glad hearing him brought back good memories and helped to keep your mind off you troubles. For me, listening to him is like listening to my grandfather tell me about the "good old days." Anytime I mentioned the good old days, he reminded me that these are the good old days. The old days were very tough, he would tell me. I hope your day is good and your mind free of worry. :)
Hello, Mr Dison. i like your intro and closing. i'm a new subscriber and really looking forward to these vids, of course, viewing on my cell phone. As a kid, Dad and i listened to Mr Harvey on the radio. While listening, my heart is being transported back in time to those moments of shared smiles, laughter and understanding. i felt Dad was sharing his wisdom with me; which I can see now, he most certainly was, by sharing his time and resources. The Bible first. Thanks. Enjoy your day
I'm very glad to have you, lots2learn. I always like hearing the stories of people listening with their parent, grandparent or other loved ones. Most of us, myself included, took that time for granted. I would give anything to have that time back. Thank you very much for listening. :)
Imagine how against mobile phones Mr. Bell might be, were he here to to witness them! It seems to me that the more things cell phones/mobile phones can do, the less well they handle just being a phone. I wish I didn't have one, however, it's not a genie that you can put back in the bottle - at least I can't.
Hi Brad and thanks again for bringing Paul Harvey back. Was wondering if he ever did a Rest of the Story about what happened before the Titanic crashed? And, the events that lead up to the wreck?
I can see how people might have resented the intrusiveness of the telephone when it was new, but I didn't expect Alexander Graham Bell to be one of those people.
Mom had the same wall phone rented from the phone co. For over 50 years. Ahe talked to her neighbor all the time on the phone. Dad said when he farted miss ann knew it before the smell went away.
I figured that was coming - that it was Alexander Graham Bell who didn't want to be disturbed by the ringing of a telephone! Now that I have a cellphone, I'm having fun with it, and learning a lot of fun facts!
No cell phone signal here in rural Louisiana, so I have no cell phone. The good thing is...there are friendly bunnies in my yard, a hoot owl hooting outside at night, and I can pee off the steps. Lots of blackberries blooming and I have sweet peas, turnips, and French breakfast radishes growing, and just planted a fig tree and Jerusalem Artichokes. Hooking up emergency solar power to my camper in a few days so I can keep my air conditioner on after storms.
Someone who watched one of my videos gave me the whole background on the photo. Mr. Harvey was covering the 1958 elections held on November 4, 1958. Unfortunately, I'm not sure who the two other newscasters are. I'm glad you're enjoying my addition to "the Rest of the Story." :)
@BradDison you know, the wife and I are 61 and watch these videos daily. We learn something from every video. How often do you upload and do you have other videos?
Amazing, isn't it? People seem to often undervalue their own accomplishment. Lol, of course, there are also many people that do the opposite. Thank you for the video!
I *did not* see that one coming! The man who invented the telephone! Wow! I wonder what he'd think of the telephone now. Probably dislike it even more. Thanks for this one! As well as the others, too, of course.
I can understand that. I went to Paris about a decade ago and could only speak enough French to find food, my motel, and the restroom. I was on the Metro (subway) when it stopped at a station. The station I was going to was a couple more stations away. The announcer came over the p.a. and said something in French which I could not understand. I noticed a lot of people getting off of the train, but that was normal at each stop. I didn't notice that no one was getting on. Finally, someone came up to me and started speaking in French. The only thing I knew to say was "parley vous anglais?" (Do you speak English). The guy laughed and explained that there was something blocking the track and we would have to disembark the train here. I don't know how long I would've waited. hahaha. :)
, Bell invented the telephone at about the same time some other guy was working on it and the other guy claimed that he invented it first and bell went to court with him and there was a big lawsuit too, the telephone was the biggest pain in the ass there ever was for Alexander Graham Bell he won that court case and they had to give him a lot of stuff more telephones but from another company called Western Union. If he hated the telephones it was for that very same reason having to go to court working all the time line working on it with his friends having to go to court working on it. He accidentally figured out how to make a speaker when he dropped wire or something into a glass of water or lemonade anyway have a nice day
I don't hate telephones, in my own perverse way I delight in their s.slowly diminishing screams of anguish as I ignore another plea to extend my car warranty or purchase Medicare Advantage.
Two things would totally throw todays generation for a loop , force them to cursive write without a cell phone nearby and two , force them to drive a clutch or walk , they’d be absolutely lost
Well I think that this is a strange thing. The matter is that your grandfather and your mommy and daddy didn't teach you to stay long enough at the right message on the cell phone. Now I would have to say. Sir if they had discerning judgment as far as what is available on the cell phone. And when you come out of your hermit cell and take on a puppy for a 2 days and the neighbor doesn't come back to get it you get blamed for abandoning an animal So watch out for your neighbors. In the correct way. Are watch out for your neighbors to go down because of your insolence and black of trust and faith Moving forward with you and your family.
Cute story but not very believable. Since his wife was deaf it seems far fetched that she could have used the phone and probably a stretch to believe that she gave him advice or meeting with people! Paul just liked to make money telling fanciful stories!
Paul Harvey Aurandt Jr., the author and creator of "The Rest of the Story" made some mistakes. There's no doubt about it. We have to remember that when most of these were written, there was no internet. Even when the internet was available, no one in Mr. Harvey's family used them. I've researched Mr. Harvey and his stories for years and have found only a handful of mistakes, which is very impressive considering how "Young Paul" had to do research. :)
Paul Harvey was a national treasure and a prophet.
He was truly a national treasure. I didn't realize there were so many people who were still interested in hearing his broadcasts. I feel at home with his fans. :)

We call them phones but actually they are a handheld computer that we can make phone calls on. And then we do more texting than we do calling
That's the exact truth. Well said. Thank you for listening. :)
He gave it away when he mentioned how much Bell contributed to everyone else's ability to stay connected.

The guy laughed and explained that there was something blocking the track and we would have to disembark the train here. I don't know how long I would've waited. hahaha. :)
Wow......
This one got me too the first time I heard it. :)
, Bell invented the telephone at about the same time some other guy was working on it and the other guy claimed that he invented it first and bell went to court with him and there was a big lawsuit too, the telephone was the biggest pain in the ass there ever was for Alexander Graham Bell he won that court case and they had to give him a lot of stuff more telephones but from another company called Western Union. If he hated the telephones it was for that very same reason having to go to court working all the time line working on it with his friends having to go to court working on it. He accidentally figured out how to make a speaker when he dropped wire or something into a glass of water or lemonade anyway have a nice day
Wow. I bet it was a pain for him if that's the case. :)
I don't hate telephones, in my own perverse way I delight in their s.slowly diminishing screams of anguish as I ignore another plea to extend my car warranty or purchase Medicare Advantage.
Hahahahaha. :)
Two things would totally throw todays generation for a loop , force them to cursive write without a cell phone nearby and two , force them to drive a clutch or walk , they’d be absolutely lost
Hahahaha. :)
Well I think that this is a strange thing. The matter is that your grandfather and your mommy and daddy didn't teach you to stay long enough at the right message on the cell phone. Now I would have to say. Sir if they had discerning judgment as far as what is available on the cell phone. And when you come out of your hermit cell and take on a puppy for a 2 days and the neighbor doesn't come back to get it you get blamed for abandoning an animal
So watch out for your neighbors. In the correct way. Are watch out for your neighbors to go down because of your insolence and black of trust and faith
Moving forward with you and your family.

Cute story but not very believable. Since his wife was deaf it seems far fetched that she could have used the phone and probably a stretch to believe that she gave him advice or meeting with people! Paul just liked to make money telling fanciful stories!
Paul Harvey Aurandt Jr., the author and creator of "The Rest of the Story" made some mistakes. There's no doubt about it. We have to remember that when most of these were written, there was no internet. Even when the internet was available, no one in Mr. Harvey's family used them. I've researched Mr. Harvey and his stories for years and have found only a handful of mistakes, which is very impressive considering how "Young Paul" had to do research. :)
