Remembering my friend Al Eisele
By Chuck Hunt - Editor | Jul 11, 2021
Someone I considered a good friend (despite having spent very little time together in person) died last week.
Blue Earth native son, Albert “Al” Eisele, passed away on Tuesday, June 29, just one day after his 85th birthday. He died of congestive heart failure at an assisted-living facility in Falls Church, Virginia.
Who is Al Eisele, you may ask.
Eisele was a veteran newspaper editor and a member of the Washington press corps for many years. He co-founded The Hill, a newspaper dedicated to coverage of Congress, the White House, politics, and all things about life in the nation’s capital.
