I don't remember when I first heard him, but do remember when I first heard of him. Always wanted to share with Rush, I read about him in a summer edition of Readers Digest 1988, I was an avid reader and a young Mother, I was in Kirkland, WA sitting on the side of a pool where all three of my children were taking swim lessons, been part of my life a long time.

I remember exactly when and where I first heard him. My neighbor was helping me “fix” my computer. She is a computer wizard. She told me about Rush and showed it to me on radio. I was hooked. Not to be outdone, Tyrelle showed me Rush tv show. Years ago. I had a reason to get up in the morning.... Then he stopped the show. His radio show gave me a reason to enjoy Monday - Friday!!! Now he is gone. RIP fine sir. You are loved and missed.
Interesting that you posted the Jesse Waters link. I remember Rush speaking highly of him a few weeks ago and saying something like Jesse being part of the future for conservative thought, hmmmmm. He is creative in thought and bold in what he’s willing to say. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone like him has been chosen as a successor.
