Editor Dies

Monte checked our home phone messages last night and discovered the editor of the Fay-West section of the Tribune-Review passed away last week. He had ongoing heart and health problems.

The message came from a friend, Barb, who does freelance work for him. I wrote for him for a number of years, and still fed him stories occasionally.

Regina: this is who I wanted you to contact. I will call you in a few days about this.
