Greg Reeves

It's been one year since Greg Reeves, the blog's founder, passed away from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Besides being a great journalist, Greg was also a great person -- warm, generous, with a wicked sense of humor. Just a reminder: There's a fund in Greg's name at Investigative Reporters & Editors, a nonprofit that promotes investigative reporting. (Before he got into blogging, Greg was renowned as a database editor who was part of The Star's investigative team.) If you're interested in donating, visit this site.
