It is never easy to say goodbye to a friend and mentor.
Former publisher of The Hanford Sentinel, good friend and my first boss, Jack Morgan, passed away late in the evening of Feb. 1 and leaves behind lasting memories for those who had the pleasure of knowing and working for him.
Morgan came to the Sentinel in 1971 after serving 12-plus years in newspaper positions in Provo, Utah, Napa and Santa Maria in California, and Klamath Falls, Oregon. His 19-year run at the helm of The Sentinel was the third longest stint in that position, following original owner Frank Dodgeâs 28 years as publisher and JE Richmondâs run of 26 years.
