I only recently heard about the passing of Ros, and was so sorry to hear that. As a kid growing up in Bristol Highlands, I had the privilege of attending his son's birthday parties on the Prudence Island ferry, riding on the REO Speedwagon fire engine in the 4th of July parades, and visiting the Bristol Phoenix offices where I was shown in detail how the newspaper was printed. The article revealed many contributions to the Bristol community I knew nothing about. He will be sorely missed.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
