I was surprised and saddened to hear that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's well-known restaurant critic died today.
Dennis Getto died of pulmonary fibrosis at only age 57.
He once came and spoke at a journalism class I took at UWM to a class of about 15 students. He was an engaging speaker and I became an immediate fan. He rarely gave public appearances and kept his identity a secret so restaurants wouldn't recognize him and give him preferential treatment. I enjoyed his columns, his web chats, and I trusted his food reviews. He was a good guy.

Did he have a bag on his head when he spoke to your class?
