I first listened to Paul Harvey in the late 1960's. I loved his voice, his sense of humor, and his ability to get across his point of view with a smile and a wink. Lately, I've heard him lose his place a few times, and a few other signs of age are creeping into his viewpoints. The last time he signs off will be a sad day for me, equivalent to the last Peanuts comic strips.
I will probably shed a tear the last time I hear that familiar, friendly voice say:
"Paul Harvey,
...
...
...
Good Day!"

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I'd swear he had some walk-in parts ( just a line or two ) on a few TV shows of that era. Really, really tall man with a prominent forehead. Couldn't mistake the voice for anyone else.
