It Was In February of 1994 When My Friend Brian Sollars Lay In A Coma From That Horrific Accident I Once Wrote About.
Brian Was A Route Salesman For Bud Electronics. He Would Drive From Town To Town Delivering Components Or Supplies To TV Repair Shops Throughout Central Illinois.
Each And Every Day Brian Would Tune In To Paul Harvey's Radio Show And Listen Up For "The Rest Of The Story".
His Family Was Aware Of This As He Layed In This Deep Coma. Paul Harvey Was Contacted And Asked If He Would Mention Brian In His Broadcast And Hope For The Possibility That Could Wake Him Up. At This Point In Time There Was Nothing To Lose.
The Broadcast Came One February Morning Calling For Brian To Wake Up. Paul Harvey Thanked Brian For His Loyal Listening To His Daily Broadcast. Please Wake Up Brian Sollars, Were The Words Spoken That Day From Paul Harvey. Mr Harvey Explained To His Listening Audience About Brian's Ordeal.
Brian Didn't Wake Up That Day. The Family However Continued To Play It For Him And Still Has That Broadcast Today. Brian Did Wake Up A Couple Weeks Later To Everyone's Delight. Was It Paul Harvey's Broadcast? I Don't Think So But Who Knows For Sure?
The Real Story Is That Mr Harvey Was Willing To Help Out A Loyal Listener If He Could.
That's A Real Class Act In My Opinion And I Will Always Remember What He Did For My Friend Brian.
In Memory Of Paul Harvey Aurandt, September 4, 1918-February 28, 2009. Good Day!
