I'm very sad this afternoon to learn of the passing of Mary Yost, one of Ohio's finest journalists and an even better human being. Mary, former Columbus Dispatch reporter and editorial page editor, died after battling cancer. She was such a kind and decent soul.

Mary was the first female Statehouse reporter for The Dispatch and later editorial page editor...and one of the classiest persons you could ever meet. When she came home for hospice before Christmas, she said how she could feel God's love... Condolences to husband TC Brown
