I was grateful that he took seriously the opportunity to serve our profession through SPJ. Yes, he was chapter president for a year or two, but before that filled the tiring role of treasurer. Later he served on our national education committee, writing several times for Quill about preparing the next generation of journalists. It hurts to see him gone so soon.
