Paul Harvey says his last good-day?

[Doug Drown]

You're absolutely right about Garner Ted.  The similarity in the voices of 
Garner Ted Armstrong and Paul Harvey was something I noticed way back when I 
was in high school in the '60s.  Thanks, Dan, for bringing this up.  I had 
forgotten all about him.

The Worldwide Church of God, BTW, underwent a coup after Herbert's (the 
father's) death.  Under him and Garner Ted, it had had some doctrinal 
beliefs that most of the rest Christendom regarded as aberrant, but the 
people who took it over from within changed it into a pretty mainstream 
Protestant denomination.  I guess it's going strong in some parts of the 
country, but the broadcasts and telecasts disappeared years ago.
