the Washington Post. He later be
came the new spaper’ s ombudsman.
It was in Washington, D C. that he
met his bride-to-be, then New York
Times reporter Nancy Hicks. They
were married 20 years ago.
Maynard was first diagnosed
w ith prostate cancer in 1988. It
went into remission twice, but re
turned a th ird time in 1992 and was
a factor in the fa m ily’s decision to
sell the newspaper
Even th ro u g h h is illn ess,
Maynard was the quintessential op
tim ist. “ The co u n try ’ s greatest
achievements came about because
somebody believed in something
whether it was in a steam engine, an
airplane or a space shuttle,” he once
wrote "O nly when we lose hope in
great possibilities are we really
doomed. Reversals and tough times
inspire some people to work harder
for what they believe in.”
Robert C. Maynard is survived
by his wife, Nancy Hicks May nard,
daughter, Dori J., sons David and
Alex, and four brothers and sisters.

M aynard’s formula for com
munity involvement was simple:
Just do it. He taught at local high
schools, attended community fo
rums, organized relief for babies o f
cocaine addicted mothers, victim s
o f Loma Prieta earthquake and the
East Bay h ills firestorm and helped
establish youth forums in the city 's
churches in the aftermath o f Rodney
King. His newspaper crusaded for
improved schools, trauma care cen
ters, economic development and
better communication across cul
tural lines. “ A newspaper,” he wrote
in 1979, in his first Letter from the
Editor column, should be “ an in
strument ofcommunity understand

His journalism career began in
1961 at daily newspaper in York.
