He set a high journalism bar at Isthmus, the model Wisconsin weekly, for nearly 40 years. He even let me write a column and some features there in the early 1980's.
And it looks like the paper will remain in good hands - - a plus - - since Wisconsin's reportorial ranks don't need more thinning.
I am always happy to tell people that Vince and his editorial team had so much professional depth and confidence that they let me write a column series in 1982 over six weeks, as I remember it, on the Wisconsin Retirement system - - which won the paper its first Milwaukee Press Club award (and my first, too.).
How many papers would perform that way today?
Thanks, again, Vince, and best wishes.
