 DENVER (AP) - William E. Peters, a journalist who wrote one of the first national articles on Martin Luther King Jr., has died. He was 85.
Peters died of pneumonia May 20 in a hospice center 20 miles northwest of Denver in Lafayette, Suzanne Peters Payne, the oldest of his three daughters, said Sunday.
"The world lost a good man, I lost a valued friend and journalists everywhere a role model for what a reporter should be," said Robert Stein, who as editor of Redbook magazine sent Peters to profile King.
