Some personal news. After 42 years my days at the Daily Times are done. I've decided to retire. This was my choice. It's time. It's been a hell of a ride and I'm excited to see what the future holds.

I think a good way to honor the great Jack Scheuer is to name press row at the Palestra The Jack Scheuer Press Row. Maybe leave a seat open for him this year. Just a thought.

This is why I love what I do. Upper Darby's Keith Shaw goes 0-2 at 113 pounds at the PIAA wrestling championships and has a huge smile after being eliminated. "No one expected me to go to states," said Shaw, a second-year wrestler. "It was a blessing to be here.".Says it all.
