Neil Morgan: Great Writer, Shrewd Operator
I came across this column while doing a random search of what is going on in San Diego lately. I grew up there from the age of 12 in 1964 until I moved away for the last time in the mid 1990s. I know your name because you wrote my favorite book about San Diego. I think is was called Captain Money and the Golden Girl. I knew a number of the characters as a lawyer in San Diego and you got them right. Seems like such a small time scam in light of later financial misdeeds, but still one of the most interesting. Funny to think that Bernie Madoff was doing much the same thing at the same time and got away with it for almost another 15 years in the financial capital of the world. I wanted to comment on two things. I will always remember Neil Morgan fondly. He helped me with some great referrals and a couple of nice mentions in his column when I was starting out as a lawyer. Yes, he was a civic booster. But I was always impressed with his integrity. The other comment is that with all of the mentions of news people from San Diego's past, Harold Keen's name can't be left out. Thanks for the memories, and I feel terrible about what Manchester has done to the UT. It is barely a newspaper anymore. Stopped reading it online months ago.— October 24, 2012 7:35 p.m.
