Great stories celebrating great people

I may sound like a broken record, however once again Manny Correira has nailed another of his excellent articles celebrating Bristol’s heritage and fine folks.

The photo on page 10 of the Phoenix April 24 edition was perfect. Look at these two centenarians who have lived good and meaningful lives in Bristol. It shows on their faces. As usual Manny makes great connections with his warm and fact-full stories from the past.

In these days of fake news and just plain bad news at 6pm every evening, his pieces are a breath of fresh air. Congrats Manny, keep it up!

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.
