RIP to this remarkable human, whom I included in my first book, THE BIG 100: The New World of Super-Aging.

Currently working as a local author and as editor for Axios, Kole is an award-winning veteran journalist. He has reported from North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Australia was the first country to adopt decisive, effective gun control — in 1996, after a horrific mass shooting — and they’ve done it again.
The U.S., meanwhile, has more mass shootings than days of the year. Why? Because unlike Australia, we just don’t give a f*ck.
