Bill Hall pens his last column

Bill Hall, Opinion Page editor emeritus, penned his last column for the Lewiston Tribune Sunday. Health issues are forcing my old Tribune colleague to hang up his witty pen:

After more than 50 years of column writing, this is my last.

This summer I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer. Although I had gone regularly to my urologist, (or rather, urologists since they kept retiring, moving or getting fired) by the time the cancer was found, it had already spread to my bones. The doctors say it’s not curable but, with treatment, they can slow it down or stop it for some time - maybe five years or even more. In spite of the treatment, which entails getting shots in the belly, I’m actually feeling fine.

So why have I decided to throw in the towel on column writing? More here.
