At 91, Bob Miller is calling it a career after almost 64 years
Bob Miller, a pillar of The Dallas Morning News for nearly 64 years, has decided to take early retirement.
You see, the 91-year-old always said he'd die on the job.
But in recent months, he says, work has become, well, work. His column July 1 will be his 8,504th and his last. There is sadness in our newsroom and among those who've passed through it. But he can still make us smile.
"When your knees pop and your mind doesn't, it's time to go," Miller says.
Miller wrote about nonprofits for decades in his column, which ran six, then more recently five times a week.
"Bob Miller through his column has probably done more for philanthropic fundraising than any other person or institution in Dallas," says Jim Moroney, publisher and CEO of The News. "There are very few nonprofits across the city that don't owe Bob a word of gratitude."
