Go Spurs Go!

from Suzanne Hoholik:

I sat next to John GM at the Express-News my last three years in San Antonio. There are so many stories and memories when I think about him. But it's the little things that made him special. How he thought Minnesota and my home state of Michigan were the same, his endless, random questions while on deadline, going to Mass with him on Sundays at San Fernando, watching the Spurs play, getting food poisoning while watching the Spurs play. After I moved back to the Midwest, he'd often call to question my loyalty to the Spurs, especially when they played the Pistons in the finals. I read Macarena's post about nicknames and JGM always called me by my full name - Suzanne Hoholik, as if he were announcing it to a crowd. JGM was loved by many, including me. He made a difference in the world.
