Samuel T. Francis, 1947 - 2005

Former Washington Times editorial page writer/deputy editor/acting editor Samuel T. Francis died earlier this month, according to a belated Post obituary. His funeral was held Saturday in his native Chattanooga.

Francis started as an editorial writer at the Wash Times in 1986, became the deputy editorial page editor in 1987, and served as acting editor for four months in 1991 before going to be a staff columnist. He twice won ASNE’s Distinguished Writing Award for Editorial Writing (1989 and 1990).
