Miriam Raftery's take.
It's been five years since my former editor died, and I still can't get over that fact whenever I think of him. I knew him way back in the Steve Saint days of the East County Community Newspapers "mini-chain", before Jay C. Harn bought it out and combined it with the Daily Californian to form The East County Californian....which Harn had to sell because the costs were too high for him; he was also running The Alpine Sun at the same time. Greg was my boss at the EC Californian for about a year before he went back to Idaho, because The Management would not let him design the front page of the paper.
He deserved his own "Mormon Jeb Bush Conservative" newspaper, but actual ownership never seemed to be his goal. He could be an annoying dork, but the world is smaller without him.
