In regards to Caen and Hoppe, a tidbit that perhaps Mr. Boyd would have noted.

Hoppe died three years to the day after the death of his friend and fellow Chronicle columnist Herb Caen, who frequently called Hoppe ``a genius -- and an unsung one at that.''

Our local KIEMTV weather guy, Jim Bernard, quotes a Boyd item once or twice a week.

I'm sure Boyd would have a stat to place his death in perspective...
