Death is all often an occasion for false sentiment, and I won t dishonor Glinstra s memory by pretending to emotions I don t have. From where I sit the press table he was a difficult man to like. But here s the thing. To my shame I never made the attempt, as a reporter or just as a guy, to like him. Our paths crossed regularly, and it s my job to schmooze, but in almost three years of meetings I cut him every time.
Pride is sin enough in a man, but in a reporter it s incompetence.
Glinstra has gone to his rest, a well-deserved one I suspect. I m not the only one who ll miss his acid. Glinstra would ve said about this or that bit of idiocy. Who ll wish, as Chesterton grows bigger and dumber, that he might have had a year or two more to speak his piece. Westchester Township Libraries Town of Chesterton Chesterton Fire Dept.
