Malcome was a pioneer and bellwether who set the tone for the rest of the news industry. He was a collector of leather bound books, Bigfoot researcher and stamp collector.

In his spare time he could be found driving the back roads of Carroll County talking to the locals, gathering stories for his articles.

He was proud of his mentoring program, and his favorite student, Jordan Miller.

He is survived by his constant companion, his cat, mittens.
