Obit

     I was sorry to hear and then report on-air the death of  lawyer Tom Radney, a longtime fervent Alabama Democrat for whom the state Democratic Party's "Radney Rule" is named. He was a former State Senator and was a delegate to a half dozen DNC conventions. He ran for Lieutenant Governor once.
     His funeral will be tomorrow in Alexander City.
     His family sent our a new released early Monday morning that included the photo below, a nice shot that caught his spirit.
     It is actually a photo I took of him last year during an interview. If I may say so, it is easily the best photo of him that shows up in a quick Google image search, and I was honored the family sent it out. Go easily, Tom. RIP!




[UPDATE: Jay points out a nice column about the former Senator by Al Benn, in Tuesday's Montgomery Advertiser..]
