    Brian, I learned a lot from you, including that not all Yankees fans are bad people. See you at the Reunions BBQ.

    The Prince is lucky for Brian's infinite kindness and extraordinary patience. He was the one who made certain that it wasn't just a newspaper and business but also a place of mentorship and learning about journalism. Thank you for everything!

    Brian, I remember your first few days at the 'Prince', when we still put the paper to bed after midnight, and we had to cut-and-paste everything in place. We learned a lot from you, and it remains an honor to call you a friend. Best wished now and always! Eric Gertner'88, another former Prince sports editor.
