RIP FURMAN BISHER
"Bisher covered the Masters, Kentucky Derby and Georgia-Georgia Tech football more than 50 times each, as well as most Super Bowls. He wrote more than 15,000 newspaper pieces and an estimated 1,500 freelance articles for magazines and won numerous writing and community service awards.Furman Bisher wrote about sports far and wide, as well as locally, in more than half a century for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. On Sunday, Bisher, 93, died of a massive heart attack."
Also, for as long as I can remember, from the time I started reading he posted an annual Thanksgiving column of the things he was thankful for that year. As much a part of an Atlanta Thanksgiving holiday as turkey or cranberry sauce out of the can.
