BRACK: Fitzgerald newspaperman a leader on the cusp of better journalism

By Elliott Brack  |  Going to funerals is something I remember since I was 4 years old, when my younger brother died. Over the years, we’ve felt it important to attend funerals of friends.  As a veteran funeral attendee, we can distinguish between a good and bad funeral. (Length is not the criteria.) We realize those we’re losing won’t be at our funeral, and the older we get, the fewer there will be to say farewell to us.
