Besides being a wonderful person, Dave exits the industry as clearly one of the best sportswriters in the history of our market, alongside Edwin Pope, Dan Le Batard and
@gregcote as the most elegant wordsmiths in the history of South Florida sportswriting, in my view. He'll be missed.
My 36-year run at the Sun-Sentinel is over. Laid off for the first time since I lost my job as an ice-rink skate guard at 17. Cost-cutting move then, they said, too. I'm a month from 65, so please keep any sympathy for my newspaper friends who didn’t make it to the finish line like I have. I’m looking forward to doing some things I want to do so before the hall narrows and the light dims so you might not be completely done with me yet. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun run.
