Donna, truth in advertising: Tim Funk and I worked for The Anniston Star together briefly in 1981 covering the Alabama Legislature and Governor’s Office for colorful Star
publisher Brandy Ayers. Tim’s a nice guy. When I knew him back then my
daughter was nine months old. Bet he’d never have believed he’d be the
subject of one of her blogs 24 years later. In fact, if you’d told him
that back then I’m sure he’d have said, “What the heck is a blog?”
