He evaded the question by answering he's not working at the Charlotte Sun, hasn't been for awhile. Maybe Derek isn't in day-to-day management anymore, but I'm willing to bet he knew the answer to my question, and I wasn't asking "how could you, or why would you fire Don Moore." I was asking of his wherabouts. So I googled, and now I know. I worked for Don at his Anna Maria newspaper. Now I own/publish a newspaper of the same name, same location for 16 years. He fired me in the 1970s, so I'd like to tell him that there is a life after that, heart or no heart. But he likely knows. -- Bonner JoyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421631292231410197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661952985296754032.post-31376989897027322202008-01-24T18:38:00.000-08:002008-01-24T18:38:00.000-08:00This is a great tribute to the man, the legend tha...This is a great tribute to the man, the legend that is Don Moore.<BR/>Great job, Marisa.<BR/>The changing journalism world makes me sad sometimes.Jamie Floerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525800040313672339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661952985296754032.post-40955551388785238182008-01-22T02:41:00.000-08:002008-01-22T02:41:00.000-08:00You know, in your own way, you were always a littl...You know, in your own way, you were always a little like Don, which is probably where the initial friction came from!<BR/><BR/>I see a book from the old curmudgeon, maybe a memoir of life in the presses.
