Randy Evans was my boss and mentor for the 11 years I was the Cedar Rapids Bureau Chief for The Register. Evans was so many people wrapped up in one package: An encyclopedia of places and people of Iowa; a straight man delivering deadpan punch lines with a twitch of his abundant mustache; a solid wall to bounce ideas off of; and a consummate professional when it came to both hard news and feature stories. We're so lucky he's willing to share his Stray Thoughts with us.
Welcome to Randy. His columns are clear as a bell. He explains complicated issues in an understandable way. He has a dry, newsroom wit. Glad he’s joined the Collaborative.
