I neglected to mention an important passing

earlier this week: last Sunday, Scott Young died in Kingston, ON. Young was best known in the last years of his life as the father of Neil Young, which Scott immortalized in the great Neil and Me. But people of a different generation in Canada knew Scott Young as an icon in his own right, a great general subject journalist and an even greater sports writer. In Canada we’ve missed his contributions since he gave up reporting in the 80s, and at this stage we need more like him, not fewer.
