AT the Evening Press, we work in an industry in which we are used to confronting tragedy.

Yet it still hurts when it hits home as closely as it has today.

Evening Press delivery driver Peter Alexander, whose death in a road accident we report today, was a respected and well-liked colleague.

His death reminds those of us in the business of gathering news that tragedy is real, and affects real people. He will be sadly missed.

Our sympathies go out today to his grieving family.

Rest In Peace, Peter.
