In the news
Barton, who worked at The Ann Arbor News from 1975-1999 - nearly a quarter-century - died at his home on May 26 at age 68 after a four-year battle with cancer. With his death comes a rush of memories of a classic newspaperman, of a reporter who loved working the police beat, loved getting the story on the street and then writing it with precision.
