Heard Rush for the first time on his second day on the air as a national host as I was driving a U-Haul across the country. Think I was in Oklahoma, looking for something to listen to. Was a fan ever since. Think that made me a charter listener. Miss him. Thanks for posting this… always enjoyed hearing this story.

Happy Thanksgiving to NC Renegades and friends! Here is the great proclamation that started Thanksgiving 1789 by George Washington!
Let me give thanks today for my wifes sweet potatoes . Here’s the story . About twenty years ago I sent my wife and Mother down to Florida to visit with our oldest Daughters family . They had moved from the Buckeye to Orlando and the women had been missing them a lot . On the drive back to Ohio the girls stopped at a little restaurant in Georgia right near the Florida border . The parking lot was packed and Kate knew that was a good sign . It was a couple of days after Thanksgiving and turkey with all the sides was still on the menu . After tasting the sweet potatoes Kate started questioning the waitress about the sweet taters . The gal then went back to the kitchen and brought the cook , a little old Georgia lady back to the table . She took my wife back to the kitchen where she was in the middle of cooking a batch of those precious taters and showed her step by step how to cook them Southern Style which is completely different from anything we had ever had before up north . We have them regularly year round now that we have been properly educated on the art of Southern Sweet Potatoes . All these years we thought we just liked them but now we find we dearly love them . Where else can you compliment and question a waitress and cook and get schooled on the art I ask you ? Try that in New York and see how it goes . We have prayed a blessing on those Southern ladies many times since . Have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy those Sweet Taters ! We are ! True story !
Went to his TV show back in ’94 just before the election. Was quite a bus trip.
Miss him.

Thanks for posting this, David. Rush was the best friend I never met for over 30 years. I miss him today like I would a departed brother.
After he passed I pretty much hung up the Peltor headphones for good and life hasn’t been the same since.
Before I go, here’s my favorite Golden Oldie from the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites.
Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for the Edward Hawkins Singers! Rush Hawkins Singers Thank the Lord, Rush LImbaugh’s on – YouTube
Love you, Rush.
Rest in peace, Rush. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
…and to you and yours!
Started listening to Rush in the early 90’s, have missed him since.

I miss Paul Harvey. “And now, the rest of the story”.
Yes, Mr. Harvey was a great American patriot. I miss him too.
I have many of his broadcasts on cassette to this day.
You can still find many of them on youtube.
As was George Putnam
