"Paul Harvey was not one of the great American broadcasters, he was the gold standard of American broadcasters. He has no equals or peershe stands alone as a classic icon. His patriotism, faith, and bedrock values were a source of stability and consistency in an otherwise unstable and chaotic time. His golden voice reassured us, entertained us, encouraged us, and challenged us. If God were to assume a human voice, I believe it would sound a lot like Paul Harveys." Mike Huckabee Former Arkansas governor and current host of Huckabee on Fox News and ABC Radio Networks Huckabee Report "Im like practically every broadcaster in America: an entire career spent emulating, respecting, and admiring the iconic Paul Harvey. Radioand the countryhave been enriched by the wit, wisdom, patriotism, charm, and impact of this most amazing man." Mike Gallagher Radio host of The Mike Gallagher Show
