Emil was my wife Paula's mentor, he really helped her achieve great things in her Journalism career. He was such a wonderful man. He came to our wedding in Dayton in 1983, and I had the great privilege of spending time with him several times. What a great guy! Always interested in our lives. In his honor, I dug up the earliest newspaper article I could find with his byline: The Decatur Herald (Decatur, Illinois) Sun, May 29, 1960 and attached it here.
