Roger and out
Not always, though. At the beginning of the council meeting, before Endert had arrived, the Council decided to hold a moment of silence for Tish Wilburn, the cranky woman-about-town who had died suddenly earlier in the week, just after her quirky race for City Council. Then several of the councilmembers shared their Tish memories, many of them dating from the time she was known as Tish Carney and working as a reporter for KHSU.
It was touching. Mayor Bass fondly recalled her first conversation with Tish, whom she met when she was first deciding to run from council. Tish was in her intrepid reporter mode, Bass said. As the Mayor recalled it, the first words out of Carney’s mouth were: “Is it true that you’re just Jim Gupton in a skirt?” It got a good laugh.
Fare-the-well, Tish! You were a pain in the ass, but you managed never to be an ass yourself.
