After I learned how to listen to him, I figured out John had an amazing knowledge about Tampa and The Tribune and I learned a great deal from him. One night I turned in an obituary from a notice I had gotten from a funeral home. It was very short, maybe three paragraphs, just listing the survivors and when services were scheduled.
This was something I did every day, so it was very routine. He handed me back to obituary and I went right back to the library to dig out the clips on whoever this person was. Of all the horrible stories I covered in Tampa was the tragic death of two children by a man later sentenced to 25 years in prison, Raymond Alwyn McMahon. In , Dan Ruth and I were on top of that story the whole way, interviewing the only eyewitness to the murder before the police did. Dan found out the man had a grandmother living in a little town in Georgia, and called her on the phone.
Dan and I drove all night to get to the little town of Baxley, Georgia, and the sheriff let us in to see McMahon. Dan and I stood right outside his jail cell and took down his confession to the crime. It was a major coup. While there, the phone started ringing and the calls were coming in from news agencies all over Florida and the country trying to get information about McMahon.
Soon, the cops showed up from Hillsborough County to take McMahon away, and we just waved at them. Of course it was all over the front page the next day. Things did not always turn out so well. Some editors at The Tribune fought us on a regular basis about getting things in the newspaper.
After I took over the job of city editor, I had some great assistants who helped me with the big stories. Yvonne Shinhoster, who has since gone to The Washington Post, was one of the best. Kevin Kalwary helped me put together some great investigative stories, but a lot of them made some people in the community look bad, and we had some editors who did not want to rankle certain people, so Kevin and I had to fight these editors to get the stories in.
Petersburg Times would eat us up. We started making those warnings very early on, years before it came true. I will not forget sitting around a table with those people I just mentioned, and including some higher-ups, and we told them in no uncertain terms that we needed to beef up the coverage in Tallahassee and Washington, D. Nothing could have come true more vividly a few years later when The St. Petersburg Times increased its bureau in Tampa by more than a dozen people, and it was obvious they were coming to get us and we were vulnerable in so many places.
The St. Of course it turned out that whatever action that man took, did not stave off the relentless pounding of The Times, and the rest is history. Like most of these memories, the ones that sting are the hardest to chronicle. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
