A wonderful story about the newsmen who made New York legendary… reporters who told the thrilling Big Apple stories with all the color and verve they deserved. Don, you did a very nice job of telling their stories and memorializing their feats of journalistic wonder. Thanks, Ed S.

Great story, Don. Those were the days when newspapers had real reporters. Keep the stories coming!

BTW, I met my future wife after a 17-Mille beer-bike race. No, I didn’t participate in the race. I just spent the afternoon drinking at the final bar with all the girls waiting there for the race to end.

Another good tale Don. I did not have much contact with Kirkman in my early years but knew about his legendary status. RIP
