ABC Radio’s Paul Harvey added, “It’s amazing to have a career in this business span five decades. And even more amazing to think that it has all been right here at WOAI. So many of us in this business…stumble into it accidentally. But radio is like a virus that gets into your blood and becomes a passion.
