Boren’s steady hand will be missed
Add me to the long list of Jim Boren fans! Yes, we had our sporadic phone clashes over a few Veterans Affairs-related editorial positions. But, those calls always ended in calm mutual understanding.
Local VA clinical advances, like the area’s first 64-slice diagnostic CT, were front page. Op-ed space was given. More importantly, Fresno’s most serious health, crime and political issues were explored in depth. Achievements and little known volunteer heroes were celebrated.
Honor Flights were extensively covered from the program’s beginning. Jim Boren’s steady hand on the tiller will be missed. Well done and thanks!
