I was on the phone this morning with Shirley Boone from Inman, S.C. this morning. Shirley is the wife of one of my best friends legendary radio newsman Marv Boone. Marv suffered a stroke on Sunday, please keep him in your prayers. We pray healing over Marv in the name of Jesus. He got out of ICU today. He had bleeding of the brain that has stopped. If you think Paul Harvey could bring it home with his voice, Marv is right there with Harvey. Marv for years was the radio news voice of Cleveland, Ohio. I got to know him when in his latter years he was the news director at WFRN radio in South Bend/Elkhart, Indiana. We worked together for years! This past Christmas Marv wrote in the card he sent me that I was his best friend ever! Made me cry tears of love. We both love the Lord, our families, baseball and radio!!! Or is radio before baseball? LOL Marv is 83 now and I hope to talk to him today and I want to share with him that I pray we get together soon and we get to go see a ball game! He’s a big Cleveland Indiana fan and one of the greatest times I have ever had was going to Cleveland years ago and seeing the Indians play my Minnesota Twins! Please keep Marv and Shirley in your prayers. Shirley and Marv send their love to all of their WFRN friends and loved ones in the Elkhart and Goshen area! We have many readers of the in that area. Marv is pictured here with his son Marv Jr. who is known as Marvelous Marv on the radio. Marv Jr. is a well know radio personality himself in Florida! By the way this is a recent picture! Marv Sr. sure doesn’t look his age! You look AWESOME Marv! Both of you do!
