Many editors would now leave in those last two paragraphs, converting a news story into an editorial--a contributing cause to the deaths of newspapers IMO. Readers want to see news on the front page and to find opinions on the editorial page where they belong. Thank you for the fine elegy.
Seth; You and that crew you write about set the standard for all of us who followed you at The Reg. We never met that standard but at least we had something to aim for.
Sometime in 1975 the Register published a story about me and how I was going to college to major in Horsemanship. That little paper kept me connected to the Cape throughout those years and beyond. Now neither my college nor the Register are still around.

Wonderful description Seth. We were all so dependent on actual people. On each other. Team work.

Thank you for tugging at my wonderful memories.
What a great piece! Reminded me of so many people and things, including my favorite chicken salad sandwich at Connelly’s.
I remember reading those articles and saying I'd like to meet that writer, that guy some time...
