Longtime Minnesota political reporter Gene Lahammer died Monday at his home in Minnetonka from old age. He was 90.
Her father read the entire library — even encyclopedias and dictionaries for fun — understood Latin, and he cultivated an immense vocabulary, she said.
Lahammer enlisted and served in the Army, where he advanced to intelligence officer. After leaving the Army, he turned down a Pentagon position. He intended to go to law school. But his passion for journalism and writing became his calling, his daughter said. Lahammer’s specialty at the AP was calling races on election night, which he did for 50 years, coming out of retirement.
