The recent threads concerning Mitch Albom and George Stark made me think back to many of the noted journalists/colulmnists who once graced our city's newspapers. My favorites were Doc Greene [[Detroit News), Jim Fitzgerald [[Detroit Free Press) and Al Stark, who wrote a column titled "The Real Detroit." I also enjoyed Pete Waldmeir in his sports-writing days. There were others...Bob Talbert, Charlie Manos, Betty DeRamus, June Brown, Malcolm Bingay, Edgar Guest, H.L Salsinger, etc. Neal Shine and Doc Greene were legendary. They constantly picked at our prejudices and provoked changes of thought. Most people on this forum are too young to have read these individuals. As newspapers downsize and exemplary journalism becomes a thing of the past, do we have anyone that comes close to any of them? Any memories? Anyone I left out?
