rumsey-yost.comMILNE, John
Political journalist John Milne, for-
merly of Concord, NH, last residing in
Portland, ME, died of a brief illness on
Thursday, Sept. 5th. He was 73.
John’s first love was politics, which
he covered for more than four decades,
reporting with UPI, Miami Herald,
New Hampshire Times, and The
Boston Globe. In 1999, he launched
PrimaryDiner.com, one of the first news
websites devoted solely to the subject.
He loved talking to people, and asking
questions, saying, “I’m lucky I’m paid to
dowhatIlove.”Heworkedforandin-
fluenced many newspapers, but editing
the New Hampshire Times held a spe-
cial place in his heart. Political report-
ing for the Globe was another cherry
gig. “I get to live in New Hampshire,”
he’d say, “but every four years, I get to
play in the big leagues.” He boasted
privately of having met every president
within his lifetime (2016 broke the
streak); although, in New Hampshire,
that could probably be a club.
John always had a book project in
the works, from mysteries to political
histories. His efforts finally came to
fruition when he edited “CrossCurrents
of Change: Concord, N.H. in the 20th
Century,” written by a collection of local
historians. He was never without a
book, or three, in hand.
With his wife Lisa, he shared a
shorthand humor, heavy on puns and
useless, impromptu acronyms. They
long, and lovingly, argued over the
distinctions in their regional dialects,
his a milkshake, hers a frappe. Together
they terrorized their children, insisting
on names such as Walter Mond-Owl
and Michael Duck-akis for their stuffed
animals. He liked to stay up late
playing blues guitar, but played for an
audience only once - in Chicago, with
Mike Bloomfield. He loved hiking, and
frequently took both children and the
family dogs. He’d admit that none of
the well-loved animals held a candle to
Brigand, his boyhood collie, whom he
taught to herd toddlers.
He was an accomplished and experi-
mental cook as well as a connoisseur of
his wife’s prolific baking. Their ample
cookbook collection conquered more
than one bookcase. At family dinners,
and long before socialmedia, he plated
each dish, lovingly fanning the sliced
beets over a sheaf of asparagus, and
dotting with green dressing. He’d say,
“you eat with your eyes.”
John’s son Joshua inherited his
love of baseball, news media, and his
gregarious charm. His daughter Jes-
sica inherited his passion for history,
architecture, and hiking. Because of
his influence, they both became writers
after a fashion. He was generous with
his editing expertise, collaborative and
direct. Even so, he always said his wife
Lisa was his best editor.
Later in life, John loved reading to
his four grandchildren. The Concord
(NH) Public Library was one of his
favorite haunts. With the Concord
Historical Society, he worked to memo-
rialize John Wynant, whose contribu-
tions to this country were unsung. In
lieu of flowers, please donate to either
organization. A Celebration of Life will
be held in Portland, ME in October.
If he’deditedthis obit,it’dbe better.
Of Northborough, formerly of Framing-
ham, on Sunday, September 8, 2019,
after a brave battle with cancer. For 28
years he was the adored and beloved
husband of Sheryl Goffin Sholock. He
was the son of the late Francis “Frank”
& Selma (Shuman) Sholock. Michael is
survived by his sisters, Pamela Sholock
and Alison Sholock. He is also survived
by many cousins and two loving nieces,
a great-nephew, great-niece and Zeke,
his cherished dog who made him smile
every day.
Michael was a longtime Resident
Engineer at MassDOT, a NAUI Master
Diver and a member of Mass Under-
water Operations. He loved serving
as an on-call firefighter/EMT for the
Northborough Fire Department and a
teaching assistant at MECTA.
He loved NASCAR and hunting and
fishing. He was an avid sports fan of all
MA sports teams, but the Red Sox were
his favorite. He loved his many friends
and their children who called him
Uncle Mike and will be greatly missed
by all who loved him.
The family extends its grateful
thanks to the kind and caring staff at
Mass General Cancer Center at New-
town Wellesley Hospital, and to those
at Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital in
Westborough during Michael’s final
weeks.

world, including Pebble Beach. He also
had three holes in one.
No one knows what is coming
next for Frank, but the family hopes
it includes a golf cart on a beautiful
course with Marie sitting next to him
birdwatching, a nice cold Schlitz, a
baked stuffed lobster, and a hot fudge
sundae on the 19th hole.
