B OY, since the announcement Friday of my impending retirement from the Sun-Times, I have received heartwarming emails, phone calls, voice mails and letters from my wonderful readers from all walks of life. I am so touched by the fact that so many readers will hate to see me go that I have to fight back the tears. It warms the cockles of my heart (whatever that means). Here is one email from veteran radio exec and head of WKKC radio Marv Dyson.
