Don Bandy was the best: I was one of the dozens of green Beacon wretches, caught in a phone booth and on deadline, whom Bandy rescued, probably more than once.
"The Banderoo," as I used to call him, was knowledgeable, calm, steady, reliable. He never went for the cheap laugh, the verbal cut block. When he was around, YOU were the star. He quietly loved his craft, his newspaper and his friends.
Wherever he was, was a good place to be. With Bandy, you had at least one friend nearby.
We will miss him terribly.
