Dear Editor,
I am very saddened to read of the death of my old friend Sharief Khan. We had so many good times together in the editor’s office of the Chronicle working out whose tail Bill Cotton was to pull next, and in the bottom house parties chez Nagamootoo. Sharief once told me, “A good journalist has no real friends.” He was right. But Sharief the person had many friends and even more admirers. Bet he is after a story wherever he has gone to.
Yours faithfully,
John Mair
