It was such a pleasure to read this again. Such a masterpiece! I'll never forget seeing one of our Examiner city editors, red-faced with irritation, having to pick up Bentley's poop from the carpet. Those were the days! xx Jane (fellow freeloader)
What a joyful stroll down memory lane. As a retired muni driver and devotee of Hinckle it was such a pleasure to revisit so much. I’d forgotten he married Cheever. I still have copies of “Frisco,” “Argonaut,” and even an old “Ramparts,” among other memorable screeds. Again to echo Pia, great profile!!!😎
I don’t know if I ever told you Jack that this has always been my all time favorite profile of my dad. It captures all sides of him and that line opening line, Making things and breaking things are two of life’s great joys and Hinckle has done plenty of both is just chef’s kiss of capturing him. 😘
aww, thank you Pia - that means a lot. you posted a photo of his tombstone not long ago, and I thought, I am definitely going to include/steal that, when this posts up. it's a perfect exit line. we will have to meet up and toast Warren - I come into the city most every week for one reason or another. cheers

during the current era of cheap attention and scammy propositions, it's useful to confront the superior hijinks of our local elders.
i think i just hurt my face from too much smiling while reading this.
