Paul Harvey says his last good-day?

But there WAS one who sounded just like him--maybe even sounded more
like Paul Harvey than Paul Harvery himself! I'm talking about Garner
"Ted" Armstrong, who voiced the pre-recorded leased-time World
Tomorrow program that appeared mostly late at night on dozens of
high-powered AMs all around the US in the 1950s. The Word Tomorrow was
produced and paid for by the Worldwide Church of God, which
Armstrong's father had founded. Garner Ted's pitches for money brought
many millions of dollars to the Church until the senior Armstrong
excommunicated his son for some lurid misbehavior and took over the
program. I believe that Garner Ted predeceased his father, who is now
also long dead.
