Retiree with the mostest
Bob Dyer may set a record for my awards by a retired columnist.
His latest comes from the Cleveland Press Club: TWO awards, for his
columns and for an essay.
Bob has won other statewide awards during his retirement. Rumor is
that he’s adding a trophy room to his house to accommodate all the honors.
Maybe listening to me for 20 years during our Blue Room lunches
together helped?
Four other staffers
also earned Best in Ohio honors, including sports columnist Marla Ridenour,
reporter Mark J. Price, photographer Jeff Lange and Editor Michael Shearer.
Lange won five awards in total, while reporter Betty Lin-Fisher won three
awards, including two first-place honors.
The BJ got first place for public service for its report on the 50th
anniversary of the May 4, 1970 murder of 4 students and wounding of 9 others by
the National Guard. Wonder if they checked the to-the-ceiling note and photos
that the late Pat Englehart assembled when he brought a Pulitzer for coverage
of the massacre.
