Lyle and I had many adventures together while we were at WBAY. His quick wit and intellect were much appreciated. I was witness to many of his inventions.

For 28 years I worked with Lyle at the News Chronicle...one thing you could always count on were his cartoons: sometimes controversial but always witty. He was a true treasure at the paper.
