At this point, I should tell you that I was a colleague and friend of Don at the Beacon Journal, where he was an astute, sensitive and dedicated workaholic. That friendship continues to this day. Make of it what you will.
Having said that, I still must wonder about Goldberg's decision that was bound to raise suspicions that the mighty PD serves masters outside the newsroom, a matter that should alarm most caring journalists in a day when the newspaper business is in tattered retreat both in circulation and credibility. We can hope that his dark event will not be picked up around the country as another Cleveland joke.

Don is, of course, exactly as you describe him.
It is at this point, alas, a spectacular case of Cleveland self-embarrassment. And I say that as a great fan of Cleveland and as someone whose other half is a zillionth-generation Ohioan, a CIM and Case Western Reserve graduate -- and the late Cleveland Mayor Ralph J. Perk's cousin!
