Ben Bradlee lived a wonderful life. Friends with JFK, mentor to Woodward & Bernstein, be stimulated generations of investigative reporters, including me. He was not perfect, nor was the Washington Post, but none of us are. He and his staff helped to bring down a corrupt President, RICHARD MILHOUS NIXON. We need more like him. He will be missed. Bon voyage!
Bradlee wrote in his memoirs: "I was on a roll being in the right place at the right time, a luck that has stayed with me." I feel the same way.

In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
