Have you ever wondered about the story behind a celebrity's success? How did they get to where they are, and where did they come from? Missouri has produced many celebrities and famous personalities through the years. It seems they are all colorful characters with unlikely backgrounds.
Paul Harvey was an American radio broadcaster for ABC News Radio. He broadcast "News and Comment" mornings and middays, as well as his famous "The Rest of the Story" segments. From 1951 to 2008, his programs reached as many as 24 million people per week. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and died in Phoenix, Arizona, without any significant Missouri connections. I was an avid Paul Harvey fan, so I thought, "Why not combine Missouri's famous persons' stories with Paul Harvey's flair for storytelling?" That's what you'll find in the pages of this book. In typical Paul Harvey style, I'll try to keep you guessing about the identities of the stories you'll read until the story's end. By the time you've finished reading these stories, you'll know "The Rest of the Story!"Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
Randy Linss was born on January 13, 1958, in Clinton, Missouri. His cherished boyhood experiences of growing up in a picturesque storybook village of a slower, simpler day provide much of his writing inspiration today. He was a 1976 graduate of Cole Camp High School before studying creative writing at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Missouri.
His adult years have been spent in various entrepreneurial ventures across the upper Midwest. He has lived his entire life in Missouri cities, including Columbia, Jefferson City, and Rolla, before retiring to his current home in Clinton, near the shores of Truman Lake, where he and his partner and proofreader, Beverly, enjoy a simple, quiet life.
His hobbies include reading, writing, hiking, bicycling, and following his beloved St. Louis Cardinals.
