I remember how Ms. Freeler at Boyd elementary had us (3rd grade class)listen to Paul Harvey every day at about lunch time. I think it was broadcast on WSLI. Didn't understand everything he was talking about. Didn't realize what a treasure he was. But, Ms. Freeler made him a part of my young life and it became a habit from thereon-after.

Thanks for the Paul Harvey revisit today, KF.

Bullshit. The man never freed anybody! The era's biggest racist. What a corny, hokey, made up bunch of slop. In the words of his brother in law, "The greatest scoundrel unhung".

And you posted this bullshit on the day the state celebrates the birth of Robert E. Lee.

Save your confederate money boys the south shall rise again

Take another puff and calm down Deo. There are more significant wars to win these days. This ones getting old.

And you posted this bullshit on the day the state celebrates the birth of Robert E. Lee.

And KF cleared your tantrum on the day the state celebrates the birth of Robert E. Lee!

Mrs. Frieler was also my third grade teacher at Boyd in 1961/62. I had grown up listening to Paul Harvey at home. At lunch time all was quiet while he was on the air. I continued to listen to him as long as he was on the air. What a great communicator he was.

Tony Yarber, Stokes, Ben Allen, Enoch Sanders, Donner Ladd, Robert Graham and the rest . . . throw a fit when Paul Harvey's wisdom is resurrected.

Paul Harvey ' a racist and a scoundrel?!? Who knew?

I saw him broadcast one afternoon on Michigan Ave. He sat in a booth facing the sidewalk so fans could watch him broadcast.

This is Kingfish's way of getting back at Stokes for not inviting him to be in the parade.

PS: It's not about war. It's about history. Learn a little of it.

Only some dumb rednecks could F up Paul Harvey.

those who continue the myth's of the noble Lost Cause are holding a rally today, save the state flag. The worse offense of their false history is that Secession was not about free labor, slavery. join me in being proud first Union troops to enter Richmond were colored fighting men. The ex confederates caused the issues of 1865 to continue with terrorism, a new state 'Jim Crow' constitution and our Flag of 1891. Am I to thanks confederate lovers for making freedom for all a 150 year long issue, giving rise to so much of what ails our country? Not today.

12:33... reference to Lincoln not Harvey

7:34 AM will changing the flag rid Mississippi of the victimhood pimps?

What a long reach Mrs. Frieler had! She was my 3rd grade teacher at Boyd in 1959-1960 and I remember listening to Paul Harvey as well. Great teachers at Boyd! Remember Mrs. Lemerson in 4th grade reading a chapter a day after recess from Swiss Family Robinson. Great education and great memories.

I used to listen to Paul all of the time. The last time I listened to him he told a story about a man, can't even remember his name, that was farming, out plowing a field, when he decided to quit. He slammed his plow into the trunk of a tree growing beside the field. According to Paul you could still see the plow way up high in the branches of the tree.
Anyone who has ever built a fence and used a tree for a post would know it was bullshit. That was my last time listening to him.

.... and who could forget Alta May. '69 alumnus.

I grew up on Paul Harvey as well, but have to confess he lost credibility to me when he announced during the Jackson 1979 Easter flood that the damn at the RBR had broken, further fueling the hysteria already gripping the city. Never heard him retract that error either.

So it's literal. You can't fathom how such descriptions might have been shared.

"Speaks" well to know we have some critical thinkers who developed without his influence.
