I had the honor of meeting Trent Hayward at the community newswroom in the offices of Poor Magazine. I was impressed as he claimed the persona of the Chief Justice of the High Court when issues of poverty were discussed. Trent's presence not only empowered everyone in attendance on that afternoon, but the unpretentious contribution he brought to the newsroom made him an instant friend to me.
We only had one occasion for social interaction, which offered me some of his insightful thoughts. I only wished there could have been more. I will carry his trove in the recesses of my heart.
So long, Trent.
