I’ve
learned some sad news today, our former executive at the Los Angeles Times,
Russ Newton, has been diagnosed with ALS
(amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). You
might also have heard it called Lou Gehrig's disease, after the baseball player
who was diagnosed with it in the 1930s.
I’m familiar with this disease
as my grandfather suffered from this disabling sickness before it took his life
in 1980.
Russ is very strong
willed, and has a very positive outlook on recovery, lets all pray he overcomes
this challenge.
Visit Russ’ webpage at
Russ Newton, and give some positive vibes to him.
