John Cole, co-founder of former
AAN-member Maine Times, died
Tuesday of
cancer. He was 79. Co-founder Peter Cox
describes Cole as "a beautiful writer and
passionate
about everything." Jay Davis, the
crusading weekly's former editor,
said that Cole
occasionally
made people
angry, but he was passionate
about issues
affecting the state he loved.
"People who
read the Times admired
his spirit,"
Davis tells the Portland Press Herald.
