St Petersburg Times: USF takes easy way on diversity

I’ve known St. Petersburg Deputy Mayor Goliath Davis since 1994, when I first came to work for the St. Petersburg Times. As assistant chief of police at the time, Davis invited me to lunch for a welcome-to-town, get-acquainted chat. After he became chief, his telephone lines remained open to me. Now, when I want to know what’s going on in Midtown or elsewhere in the city, I’m always able to speak with him.
