Older readers may remember John C. Sherwood, a longtime Enquirer writer and editor, who left Battle Creek some years ago to work at the Wilmington (Del.) News-Journal.
The Marshall-area native, thespian, magician, local historian, and all-around Renaissance man had a long relationship with the legendary science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, who died last week at his home in Sri Lanka.
Clarke, if you don't recognize the name, authored "2001: A Space Odyssey" and the sci-fi classic "Childhood's End" among other works.
John, a good friend, messaged me about a remembrance he put together that appears on the News-Journal Web site, delawareonline.com.
I commend it to you — I think you'll find it fascinating reading.
Hey, John Sherwood will never be forgotten, by those interested in the arts, local history and good newspaper reporting. Glad to have the update on his doings since cereal city days.
