Roy Steinfort of the Associated Press. RIP

I learn today that I have just lost this old friend, mentor, and boss. In the world of news he owned a broad reputation as a very nice guy and a crack newsman and businessman.

Among all the rest he was a combat medic on Iwo Jima. One of his prized possessions was a print of Joe Rosenthal's classic Suribachi flag raising shot inscribed, "For Roy, Who was There. Joe."
