I admired Mr. Slusher's wordcraft, his ability to enable the reader to see things as he does, and most of all his judiciousness. He looks out at this frustrating, wonderful world in which we live and doesn't start ranting or preaching. He provides insight, not rhetoric. He looks at matters big and small with the same clear-eyed wisdom.
An added bonus was his ability to foresee the future. For example, a 2009 column included these words: "Bankruptcy, as Lee Iacocca, Donald Trump, United Airlines and many other examples have taught us, is not necessarily a precursor to ruin. It can be part of a process of rebuilding." Ha!
