When I told one of my high school teachers I was going to Flight School to become a pilot he told me I'd never make it. I thought that was an odd comment but have never forgotten it. I believe it was intended to be literal that I would never make it. I'm thankful for that comment as it provided much fuel of inspiration for me. I did become a Marine Corps pilot and flew in many countries.
I understand that drive. The computer told me I would flunk out of Ohio State the 1st year because of coming from inner city school and poverty. That put my backbone up, determination, "I'll show you"... never studied so hard for my B average. Graduated Magna Cum Laude
No one could tell a story like Paul Harvey. When he spoke his voice had a class all by himself and the more you listened to his story the more interesting interesting it got. As a kid couldn't help but hanging on to every word he said to find out who he was talking about and to hear the Rest Of Story. Thank you Paul Harvey for having a lasting impact on my life an so many others too. May your word never be forgotten.
As I think back to the 1970s I knew at noon there would be the Paul Harvey radio program , that was the most popular thing on radio. Everyone tuned into it that I knew , all my friends parents listened to him and so did I. I think back to the 1970s when I grew up and it was a lot different than today ( I'm sure we all know how different it was ) . I was around 14 years old in 1978 when I first payed attention to Paul and have been a fan ever since. I'm now 60 years old and can't understand how fast time has passed by but I still listen to Paul the same way I did when I was 14 .
Back in the day I think he came on the radio 3 times a day. 10:00AM and around 1:00 and 3:00PM. The shop basically shut down at those times to listen and if the air compressor was running it was temporarily shut down. Even the customers hovered around the little table top radio we had on a shelf above the work benches.
As a lover of science fiction I consider her one greatest contribution to be to give Gene Roddenberry a chance to show sci-fi as it appeared in novels instead of as in the horror movies and kid shows.
Ya gotta love Paul Harvey ...and Lucy! Because that "girl in the back" went on to influence not just Hollywood but the entire world when she decided to produce a little known outer-space western show called _Star Trek._ And if you don't think Star Trek didn't influence a few people then you don't know the rest of _any_ story.
@@GeorgeSemel I think shows like "The Honeymooners" and other creators like George Burns, Steve Allen, Sid Caesar and far too many other notables pretty much laid the groundwork for anything like a "sit-com." Lucy simply expanded her sphere of influence when she decided to promote a show called "Star Trek" which was originally described as something of a unique outer-space western. That one show, I think we can all agree, went on to influence a considerable number of future movers and shakers in actual technological endeavors -- and continues to do so today! Of course, other notables would include minds like Gene Roddenberry, Irwin Allen, Rod Serling, and a multitude of others. But Lucy and her promotion of Star Trek was pretty much an enormous corner stone that I think continues to get overlooked a hell of a lot. And when I think about that shy "Girl in the Back" who virtually personified the typical "geek" who may not have blossomed yet, I find it to be quite poetic.
When I was 18, I was hitchhiking out to WY - (1975) A van workman's picked me up in SD - he had an apprentice with him. I snoozed and woke up when they were excitedly trying to find something on the radio. Paul Harvey - listened to him ever since.
Hello. My name is Claude Thud. I'm the dork who told Lucille Ball she would never make it in show biz. I'm a daggone expert. (P.S. an EXPERT? An "ex" is a has-been, and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure.
I went to dog grooming school in Vancouver and the husband of the instructor...who ran the supply store...told me I had no business being there and I would never succeed. I wound up being the top of my class. Then I bought my own grooming salon...in direct competition with one of their franchises...and was the best groomer in that area. Sometimes you just gotta show 'em.
Some people do not have the real ability to see the innate talent that is beneath the shy surface and can only tell people they have no talent and go home. Thankfully, this man was clueless and we are the recipients of one of the greatest comics every. Thank you Lucy for not listening to this man.
🤣 Things do without a doubt happen for a reason. Few in this day and time would agree I'm certain but Mr. Milton's harsh and pointed criticism is the very catalyst that set in motion Lucy's determination to rid herself of her chains of shyness. I know those prison walls very well myself. Look around and see what "spare the rod, spoil the child" has bred.
That is amazing how that guy didn't see the talent in that girl! I wonder if he was still living when Lucille Ball played in "I LOVE Lucy"? I hope he went out and had some crow meat?
Don't forget, her fame and talent didn't begin with "I Love Lucy." She'd been a dancer, she'd appeared in movies including Bob Hope's "Fancy Pants" in straight and comic roles,...
I wonder if this has any bearing on why Lucy was always trying to get into one off Ricky’s shows on “I Love Lucy.” Seems maybe she kept a bit of her reality in her show.

Good for you! Always follow your dreams
Thank you for your service

Success is always the best come back!
That voice. I remember as a kid I couldn’t wait for Paul Harvey The Rest of The Story to come on the radio.
Some country station should start playing these everyday at noon like it used to be. Almost need these played in school the way things are going.
Wow I thought 🤔 I was the only person with that though.
these were played at 5 pm i think
How I miss Paul Harvey. A gentleman whom I looked forward to listening to on the radio every day during lunch. His wisdom, and delivery is timeless.

The absolute greatest story teller I've ever heard!!
Paul Harvey was the best broadcaster.
This is Mind Boggling. One would have never thought this of Lucy.
Amazing story .... THESE are the stories that need to be taught to young children ...

I left a comment on another video comparing Paul Harvey to Mike Rowe. Listening to either is comforting no matter the subject matter being discussed.
As a lover of science fiction I consider her one greatest contribution to be to give Gene Roddenberry a chance to show sci-fi as it appeared in novels instead of as in the horror movies and kid shows.
when Desilu agreed to produce his "Wagon Train to the Stars" project called "Star Trek".
Love and miss this. Please keep them coming. Thanks.

Well not only that but Lucy and Desi invented the Televison Sitcom!

That was good. I like the surprise of the visual image, as much as hearing who it is

Great Example of not “placing you pearls before swine!” Lucy was a comic genius! R.I.P. 😇

God bless her, without her, we would never have had Star Trek. 🖖
No way! What an amazing story! ❤
He like my Father.. I love my father , I love listening to Paul Harvey..
SHE WENT HOME AND THEN MADE THE GREATEST SIT COM EVER 😲 whoa 😲
We need more Paul Harvey's
I too enjoy listening to "The Rest of the Story ". Visited L Ball's hometown, go see.

That was a good one.
Amen to this ideal 🙏

I loved,
I Love Lucy.❤
I sure do like that Paul Harvey! 🫠

A whole lot of crow! Lucy was & Still is a power in Hollywood.

Bette Davis = movies. AND:
Lucille Ball = television

Lucille Ball was to comedy as Bette Davis was to drama.
I saw Lucy in a 1939 Three Stooges episode, so THIS was from way back.
DID YOU QUESS WHOM WAS BEING TOLD THAT GO HOME !...
Kinda the crow Simon Cowell had to eat when Jenifer Hudson won the Academy Award!
I know,right?That girl slammed it in Simon’s mugg!❤
That Mr. Milton was a real jerk, I tell ya.
She was a beautiful woman in those days ! Not to say she lost anything in her older days!
John Murray Anderson. You have some ‘Splaining to do.!
I thought Lucy was from upstate NY?
3:32 TIL lugubrious.
What an amazing man and very much missed
Never listen. To. Mr. Milton
I was thinking Carol Channing. Oops.
Me and Lucy are kin
