Flint Journal Food Writer and former Mott Community College instructor Cy Leder dies at age 82 I had Cy as a Journalism teacher back in the 80s. Not only did I learn a lot about writing from him, but through his passionate espousal of journalistic ethics, I learned a great deal about ethical thinking in general. I'm glad I got to know him, and I am proud to say that his example was an inspiration to me.
