The Passing of Local Historian Linda Duyer

John Muller

This past weekend, Salisbury lost a historian. Linda Duyer was known to write about the city's past -- sometimes the difficult past -- and especially the African American community.

Delmarva Public Media's Don Rush talked with Greg Bassett, editor and general manager of the Salisbury Independent, who says her columns opened up a whole different understanding of the city he thought he knew.

On her Facebook page, she last wrote, "I'm wishing everyone I've known all the best."

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
