Owen Davis to retire
My longtime friend and colleague Owen Davis is retiring in July. Owen, who is our sports copy desk chief, has only been with us for two years, but I've known him since the early 80s when we worked together at the N&O. In between the N&O and us, Owen was at the Detroit Free Press, where he spent 20 years as deputy sports editor.
He moved here to be closer to family and we knew we wouldn't have him a long time, but he's been a pivotal player while here.
