I was so sorry to learn of Hank's passing yesterday. He and I met through the newspaper. I had read one of his columns and sent him an email expressing my appreciation. We began to compare notes on our love for writing and decided to meet for lunch. That began a several year friendship where we would meet for lunch 3 or 4 times a year at the Doubletree Hotel. I owe him a million thanks for carrying my column in both newspapers. We have lost a good man and fellow writer. My condolences to all of his family. I wish I had known and could have been at the funeral.
