A tale of two great dads
May 14th, 2010 by Tony Dodero
Rich Dunn and I have had a long friendship. I met him back in 1990 when he was a sports writer at the Daily Pilot and I was starting my news writing career. Click here or on the Daily Pilot photo of Rich’s family above for a story about his latest venture. We went through the wars together. Multiple owners, bad times, good times, crazy co-workers and all. And we have another connection. His son Nolan, pictured on the right, was born on the same exact day as my daughter Kristen, Groundhog Day 2001. His son Julian, on the left, was born one month ahead of my son Nathan.

The lighter side of Daryl Gates
Apr 30th, 2010 by Tony Dodero
I’ll be the first to admit that I never had a great impression of Daryl Gates. Not because I didn’t think he was a good leader of the police department but I just scratched my head at his response to the Rodney King beatings and the subsequent racial unrest that followed.
But, I dare anyone to read this blog by a former Daily News reporter and not have a different opinion of the man. The story is about how Gates reacted to the murder of a police detective, who was cowardly gunned down while picking up his 6-year-old son from school. The detective probably saved his son by telling him to duck right before he was shot. The boy survived but had to see his father’s lifeless body after the shooting.
