Back in February, I posted about a benefit for Wayne McLeod, the editor of Vallarta Today for over 15 years. He was dying of lung cancer.

He has died.

He was the first, if not the only, real journalist here in Vallarta to treat me with respect.

He did a lot for this city.

Not too many months ago, a man came in the Tourist Office asking about Vallarta Today delivery. I said we had not been getting it there for quite some time, and that the editor had been quite sick.

He said, "I was, but am doing fine now." Guess he wasn't.

RIP
Jim
