Early encounters with the Nite OwlA few words on former colleague Bernard Trink, who sadly passed away last week at the age of 89. Aside from his celebrated Friday Nite Owl pages, every week he would produce lengthy reviews of movies, restaurants and books, along with interviews with local celebrities. But he was best known for his Nite Owl column and if you walked into the Post on a Friday afternoon in the early 1970s you could guarantee all the sub-editors would have their heads buried into the words of wisdom from the Nite Owl. And of course he always finished Nite Owl with his famous catch-phrase: "But I don't give a hoot". There will never be a column quite like Nite Owl.
