Dave Loveton: 1958-2021

In his 40 years writing sports stories and press releases, Dave Loveton could always be counted on to produce detailed, straightforward reporting. That fact-filled style resonated in this email he sent out to his friends on January 22, 2018:

It’s been Good News & Bad News for me.

The Good:  I changed my eating habits from bad food to good food on Aug. 1 (no alcohol, no diet soda, no bad snacks/desserts, no bread, no potatoes, eating a lot less and eating many more fruits/vegetables) and started walking 4-5 miles every other day. I’ve lost 80 pounds in the last 5 1/2 months and now weigh 240. Yeah for me!!
