Paul’s People, No. 46

If you haven't read Jim's book about Carl Maxey, you should.

Here I am with my friend and former colleague Jim Kershner.

Jim retired a few years ago. But while he was at the paper, and it was a long time, he was one of the reasons working at The Spokesman-Review was fun.

Jim has a delightful sense of what’s funny.  And he is an excellent story teller.

He was and is a fine journalist. He’s also a good man.

When I was recovering from brain surgery this summer, Jim sent me a goofy postcard every day. For weeks.

On each card, he wrote something witty.

I got to where I really looked forward to this daily dose of humor and counted on its arrival.

I hope I remembered to thank him.
