I heard about it this morning before work. I was really sad to find out. RIP

Many years ago I was racing sportscars in SCCA and was pissed because the ENews didn't have any regular coverage of any motorsports events. I went to Cook's office prepared to give him a lot of , but he turned the tables on me.

"Ok, young man, if you think its easy to write something every week that the readers will enjoy, you take a crack at it. If it's good, I'll publish it."

Well, I did and he did, although not everything got in. It was mostly buried in small miscellaneous columns and of course no byline. But he was courteous every week when I brought my stuff in. Eventually, he assigned a reporter to work on motor sports stuff and my paltry volunteer contributions ended.

Somewhere in a bar in Heaven, Mr. Broadhind takes his cigar out of his mouth and says, "Siddown Bub, what took ya so long to get here? I had ya 9-5 that you'd been at the other place all this time."

Hahahahhaaaa!!!

Man, I remember back in the day in San Marcos when I had a choice between the Austin and San Antonio news coverage. Although, I preferred Austin news, I made sure I caught Dan's sports segment. One of a kind, he will be missed dearly.
