“Earleen was a fantastic editor. She was firm, and she wouldn’t pull any punches, but she was willing to sit down with people and go over their material and show how it should be done," said Reid, editor-in-chief of Stars & Stripes.
“I marveled at her almost photographic memory and reveled in our travels in Asia, and her love of history, mysteries, and her cats,” Lederer said.Earleen Marie Fisher began reporting for her hometown newspaper, The Milford Mail, as a sophomore in high school.
