Paul Harvey's wife just died. This would be a good time to stop the
lame bit about him.
--
RIVER FOREST, Ill. - Lynne Harvey, wife of longtime broadcaster Paul
Harvey, has died.
Lynne Harvey died early Saturday at the couple's home in the Chicago
suburb of River Forest after a yearlong battle with leukemia,
according to a release from the "Paul Harvey News" office. The release
did not mention her age.
Lynne Harvey, a St. Louis native, was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of
Wa****ngton University. She was working as an education re****ter at
KXOK in St. Louis when she met Paul Harvey, who was a special events
director at the station.
They married in 1940 and later moved to Chicago.
Lynne Harvey is credited with developing some of Paul Harvey's best
known broadcast features, including "The Rest of the Story."
She was the first producer to enter the National Radio Hall of Fame
and was inducted in 1997. She was a founding member of the board of
the Museum of Broadcast Communications, home of the hall of fame.
Bruce DuMont, museum founder and president, said Lynne Harvey was "one
of the most remarkable behind-the-scenes talents in the history of
American broadcasting, both radio and television."
Describing her as warm, smart and generous, DuMont noted that Lynne
Harvey set aside her own on-air radio aspirations to work as a
producer for her husband.
"She crafted the most successful radio career of all time," DuMont
said. "She was to Paul Harvey what Colonel Parker was to Elvis
Presley."
DuMont called the Harveys' relation****p "probably the greatest love
story that I've ever experienced."
Lynne Harvey is survived by her husband Paul Harvey and their son,
Paul Harvey Jr.
