When an esteemed colleague and close friend is honored, “All boats Rise.”💗

Congratulations to Joe for this honor, in recognition of your unique talents…and to you Bob, for such a touching tribute to your friend.🫡

…it takes a village to raise a journalist...and so a tip of the cap, as well, to all others who cultivated and shaped Joe D. along his journey.🧢
