I mourn the loss of a friend and mentor, #DavidHawpe, former editor of my “home” paper, the ⁦ @courierjournal⁩, who just passed at 78. He taught me to love the #KY Appalachian Mountains he came from and the people in and of it; same for all the state.
David Hawpe was fair, accurate, versed in policy, cared for vulnerable communities & full of love for Ky. We met at UK, when the Hawpe-led Ky. Kernel student paper endorsed me for student body prez. Jane & I have lost a friend. Journalism & the Commonwealth have lost one too.
When I was a 26 yo idiot who’d fallen into politics, David treated me like a peer. He was always generous with his friendship and wisdom, and his gift for expressing his passion for justice was an absolute treasure. I miss the heck out of David Hawpe
