Paul Harvey â??Promoted to Gloryâ??

/â??Best-known voice on radioâ?? was staunch supporter of The Salvation Army/

Paul Harvey, a Chicago radio man whose melodious voice and hearty
"Hello, America" were cherished by millions on national broadcasts, died
Saturday, February 28, 2009. He was 90.

Harvey was a loyal supporter of The Salvation Army, andâ??along with his
wife, Angelâ??attended worship services for several years at the Norridge
Citadel Corps in Chicago. At the time Majors Eugene and Joyce Anderson
(Ret.) were the Norridge Corps officers. They formed a close
relationship with the Harveys.

A humble and gracious supporter

According to Major Eugene Anderson (Ret.), â??Paul and Angel Harvey
attended the Norridge Corps regularly from 1988 through our tenure as
corps officers...they always sat together, as close as possible to the
bandâ??s drum section, and when asked what their draw to the Army was, he
shared that the â??meetings appealed to them because they had spirit and
were like an Oasis in the desertâ??â??.

â??They resisted any public attention in our public meetings and made it
know to me their desire was to be treated no differently than any one else.

â??On one Thanksgiving Day Mr. Harvey came to the Corps unannounced and
found me in the building alone. He brought the biggest prepared turkey
I've ever seen and wondered if I could find some family in need to get
it. Our service list of families in need had already been met....so he
said "will you take it home to your family?" Major Joyce, my son and I
had turkey until Christmas...compliments of Paul and Angel Harvey.

â??On several occasions Paul liked what was said in the Army's public
meetings and would use that in his radio broadcasts. On each occasion he
would give us a phone call just to check out the facts and get our
approval. His version always came out better than ours!â??

On the occasion of our farewell from Norridge, Paul and Angel came to
the farewell dinner bringing a dish to pass just like everyone else. A
couple of years later when Major Joyce and I transferred to south Asia
(Sri Lanka), Paul personally invited us to dinner with him and Angel at
the ABC Studio in Chicago. Paul grilled us at length about our
motivation for going and then led us in prayer with their blessing for
our ministry.

A valued friend of The Salvation Army

On a national scale, Harvey always spoke highly of The Salvation
Armyâ??and would sometimes use a portion of his radio show to do so. In a
2005 speech [listen to highlights here], at the The Salvation Armyâ??s
National Advisory Organizations Conference in Minneapolis, Harvey
expressed his conviction that â??America Needs The Salvation Army.â??

Called â??the voice of Middle Americaâ?? by the media for his flag-waving
conservatism, Harvey died surrounded by family in a Phoenix hospital, an
ABC Radio Networks spokesman said.

â??Paul Harvey was the most listened to man in the history of radio,â?? said
Bruce DuMont, president of the Museum of Broadcast Communications and
host of the nationally syndicated /Beyond the Beltway/. â??There is no one
who will ever come close to him.â??

His five-minute â??The Rest of the Storyâ?? broadcasts featured historical
vignettes with surprise endingsâ?¦He'd end each broadcast with his
signature: â??Paul Harvey. [long pause] Good day!â??

Good Day to you Mr. Harvey, and thank-you from The Salvation Army!
