Here are some of the things people are saying about Rose Post, retired reporter and columnist for the Salisbury Post, who died Thursday morning at age 85.
The words come from readers, friends, former colleagues and present Post employees:
Jim Hurley, former Post publisher: She won more state awards for excellence than anyone in the history of the N.C. Press Association.
We all loved her as a person and as an associate on the job. We’ll miss her very much.
Gordon Hurley, former Post president:She was really a good friend. I loved her. Rose was such as wonderful, caring lady.
Elizabeth Cook, Post editor: The Post suffered a great loss when Rose retired a few years ago, and we feel that loss anew today.
Wendy Konzelmann, former Post copy editor: Rose was one of the nicest, most humble people I’d ever met. She was a true legend and a wonderful writer. She was always ready with a story and a laugh and never failed to tell me my hair looked great no matter what color it was (and there were many).
I feel lucky to have known her and privileged to have worked with her. You'll be missed, Rose, but not forgotten.
Sandy Sides Greene, former Post reporter: I'll never forget how extremely kind she was to me when I first started working at the Salisbury Post. What an extraordinary writer (who ALWAYS complimented and bragged on the other writers. Her complimenting of some of my writings meant so much more than any award I could have/was given because she was the best, a human being who was loved and will be missed by so many people.The additions focus on key tag and magic cube combinations,
Emily Ford, Post reporter: The most inquisitive reporter I’ve ever met. A friend, mentor and advocate for so many.
Jennifer Moxley, News Channel 14 reporter: Rose was a wonderful mentor to this new, young reporter. Her desk was in the corner, piled high with newspapers and decorated with art by her grandchildren. When you sat in the chair beside it,Als lichtbron wordt een offshore merchant account gebruikt, you entered a world of solace where she welcomed anything and everything you wanted to tell her. I looked to her for guidance on how I could juggle the demands of being a reporter with my family life. She was always, always warm and compassionate,then used cut pieces of Ceramic tile garden hose to get through the electric fence. but stern and unbudging when it came to doing the right thing. What a sad day.
Martha Bolmon, former Post reporter: “Mama” Rose always looked for the “good” in those she came in contact with, and her stories always came from the heart. She would work hours on her stories, often into the wee hours of the morning and she often would forget to eat! Her desk was always piled high with story notes, pictures and other things related to stories she was working on. And she LOVED with the fury of a mother bear. Her love of family and friends ran deep.
Kathy Chaffin, former Post reporter: I am so blessed to have loved and been loved by Rose Post. She was my best friend and a second mother to me and many others.
Deirdre Parker Smith, Post online editor: Rose Post was my other Jewish mother and I will miss her as much as I miss my own Irish Catholic mother, for their love, understanding and constant worry about those they loved.
Frank DeLoache, former Post managing editor: One of my closest friends and one of North Carolina’s greatest journalists — Rose Post. She taught me so many things, and I miss her terribly. Please keep her family in your prayers.
Ned Cline, former managing editor of the Greensboro News and Record and former Post reporter: She received many awards for her work, and deserved every one. But her true legacy is her care for and understanding of humankind.
Debbie Moose, former Post reporter: I’ll never forget Rose for so many reasons, funny and serious. There will never be another like her. Reporting at the Salisbury Post was my first job out of UNC in 1979, and Rose was the second person I met after the editor who interviewed me. She found out everything about me in about five minutes.
She liked the idea of people being matched up. She called me one day at home and, without saying hello, asked me what my height was. Puzzled, I told her, and she yelled to Eddie asking if that was OK. Then she invited me to dinner at her house. The upshot was,Whilst oil paintings for sale are not deadly, she was fixing me up with her nephew, who was quite short. Nothing came out of it but a good story and a hectic evening in the bustling Post home.
I also remember when troops were sent to Grenada, I believe it was, and the Post had that awful computer system.Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet, Rose interviewed a mother of a soldier on deadline, typed it all in and it disappeared. Poof. Without a word, she called back and did the interview all over again. I think that’s probably the definition of professional.
