And now, as he bows out of a long career as graciously as he lived it, we bestow on him a title we have long felt he richly deserved - Mr. McHenry. usin' & anderin BY KAF For Earl; it was his ability, and desire, to boost the other fellow. In a world where it's easier to make your own marie by knocking down the competition, hv-nade it a point to build. We were among an untold number who sometimes felt we were undeserving of the confidence be placed in us for no better reason than that he cared for others. And boosting didn't stop with people. In what was one of many endeavors outside his business life, he spent 32 years advancing the public library of our city from a humble beginning. . World War II fund drives, the Red Cross, Boy Scout campaigns, the Pony League - these were only a few of the efforts to which he devoted time so unstintingly. Even the city's school system owes much to his efforts. In the mid-1920s, when forward looking citizens saw the need for a new high school, Earl, then a student, Joined his mother in speaking - at public gatherings for a goal they felt could not be denied. Out of their concern for the future of education in McHenry, East Campus came into being. The Plaindealer has undergone many changes in the last two years to keep pace with changing times. In retaining the writing talent of So I Hear the publishers nave recognized the sometimes magical value of blending old and new offerings for the diversified tastes of different ages and interests. Earl's following went beyond both age and interests to include all. Throughout these SO years the So I Hear column has consistently enjoyed wide appeal. This was so because of an enviable mix of a keen humor, memory and love for people. As Earl leaves the Plaindealer it may wll be one of the single greatest losses in its 110 year history. For us personally his departure leaves a void not soon to be filled. Through the years we were at the helm of the news desk, we found ourself often seeking information and advice from this friend who seemed to have been born a leader and advisor. This is not to say that all of our times together were without trials. In the newspaper business you make choices and when the printed word reaches the street you live with it. Sometimes you agonize over a decision made in haste. It was at these times that So I Hear, in his innate good judgment, provided understanding and encouragement. Like the thousands of readers who became his friends, we will miss the chatty columns which reminded us that McHenry, amidst the growth and change, has retained enough of its homespun flavor that we remain happy to call it our hometown. This is a hometown he shares with those of us who cling to the best of yesterday, combine it with the best of today, and look toward tomorrow.
