I had only a passing familiarity with Peter Worthington, but when I saw this obit (last week) I found it a very fascinating read.

As did I

I'm sure he was a fine chap, but why should I give a shit about this dude?

Passing through Montreal, he enlisted in the Black Watch as a private, and returned in 1919 as a captain with a Military Cross and Bar, and a Military Medal and Bar.

Simply badassery. I assume he was at Vimy Ridge.

Now doff your hat.

That was his father, though he still had a fine life himself.

I used to enjoy reading worthington (shut up the sun is convenient to read on the subway ). He was a good writer and enjoyable to read.

See, Worthington was one of the few guys that I could stand on the Sun editorial page.  Too many guys are doing the Adler thing right now.  Sure, it's not as bad as listening to US talk radio, but it's not great either.
