A Good Hair Day For Jessie-Lynne Kerr.
April 7th, 2009
When I first started in journalism, I was charmed by so many of the newsroom characters who started in newspapers back when journalism was really all about reporting the news — not making more money. One of the most memorable reporters I ever worked with was Jessie-Lynne Kerr, an institution at The Florida Times-Union. Back then, she was smart, talented, fun and truly an original. She still is.
She’s seen it all and written the stories. Now, she has lung cancer. I did the math and figured out that, when we worked together, she was the age I am now. I can’t believe so much time has gone by. She remains the same courageous, resilient woman she always was. And she is still teaching us so much about life.
It is such an honor to share her with you.
in laws the movie God bless Jessie-Lynn.
