Richard Wilson Lee - December 25, 1934 - November 10, 2018

Dick Lee, who passed away Nov. 10 in Brookings, was former head of the journalism department at SDSU. He arrived there in 1978, when I was managing editor of this newspaper. Getting to know him was my good fortune because he was one of the best journalists, and men, that I ever knew.

  He knew his craft and he knew people. His avuncular manner allowed him to form relationships with those from all walks, including some who distrusted the media.

He was well educated, with a doctorate degree in mass communications. He came from a newspaper family. He had practical experience to bolster his academic credentials, working on weekly and daily newspapers, including the Washington Star.
