Mike Grieve

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Michael Grieve, who hired me and was managing editor at The Chronicle-Journal during the years 1975-92. Mike was a tough taskmaster but I became a better journalist trying to live up to the standards he set. Mike had a sense of humour. Once, back in 1981, when I was a patient in Toronto's Western Hospital Mike sent me a note with the following note. "Sorry Jim but I couldn't get down to the bank to deposit your cheque this week so I put it all on the (NFL) New Orleans Saints. Keep your fingers crossed." At the time the Saints were the worst team in the NFL. Milk was the best managing editor I ever worked under and I felt I was privileged to be working at the CJ under his watch. Jim Kelly.
