CLEVELAND -- Dick Feagler is not shy and he's not retiring.
Cleveland's longtime columnist is ending his regular columns for the Plain Dealer.
Feagler's been a reporter/columnist at the Cleveland Press. He spent 19 years at Channel 3 as an award-winning commentator and briefly was an anchorman.
"Biggest mistake I ever made," he says about the anchor experiment.
He most enjoyed covering Carl Stokes and Dennis Kucinich.
His politics have gone from lefty-liberal to cranky-conservative to radical- try-something-different.
He's enjoyed a week of tributes and accolades. But he's not disappearing. He may work on another book and will continue doing "Feagler and Friends" on WVIZ covering Northeast Ohio, calling things as he sees them.
He's 70 years old and he says he's in pretty good health despite a recent scare involving blood clots.
He is one of Cleveland's longest-running media personalities in a class of famous last names like Fuldheim and Goddard.
And when he has something to say about an important subject, you may see his face and byline back in the Plain Dealer.
