Shaughnessy at his best

I've often thought that memorializing a special life is one of the greatest things we get to do as writers. It is an awesome responsibility to try to capture a person, especially if we didn't know them. Those stories will be cut out and cherished by loved ones and often passed a long to other mourners. When the story comes out right, it is something special to be a part of, something I think most of us take great honor in.

Dan Shaughnessy should take great honor in his column today about beloved Sutton High School basketball coach Stephen Romasco, who died suddenly last month.
