Fred Kinne
Respected newsman also had a passion for teaching youth tennis
San Diego Union-Tribune, The (CA) - Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Fred Kinne, an unflappable editor who helped lead The Evening Tribune's Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the 1978 PSA plane crash, died Sunday night in La Mesa. He was 93.
In a newsroom, Mr. Kinne was a commanding figure who was calm under fire and had a way of eliciting the best from people. His long journalism career also included editing positions at the San Diego Daily Journal and The San Diego Union.
Among tennis enthusiasts, Mr. Kinne was a passionate advocate of the sport who held free youth clinics at Morley Field in Balboa Park and co-founded the San Diego Tennis Patrons.
Mr. Kinne died at Arbor Hills Nursing Center. He had a stroke in January and never fully recovered, his family said.
Friends and colleagues said Mr. Kinne was an excellent newspaperman who had a good rapport with his staff.
"Everybody wanted to please him," said friend Jack Gregg, who worked with Mr. Kinne at The Evening Tribune. "He was fair and he knew how to get the best out of everybody. He had a reporter who wasn't very good (writing) at the typewriter. Fred saw him at the typewriter and had him leave the office so he could call it in (over the phone)."
The late congressman and columnist Lionel Van Deerlin wrote about him when Mr. Kinne retired from The Evening Tribune in 1981.
"Kinne typifies the middle-level executive who transformed the old movie version of newspaper hack into an honorable profession," Van Deerlin wrote. "Kinne's control under stress has long been the envy of those around him. It was best demonstrated in the first 45 minutes after that PSA crash. ... "
A Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 collided in mid-air with a small private plane Sept. 25, 1978. The wreckage fell on North Park, and 144 people were killed.
Mr. Kinne's newspaper career started in El Centro in 1935 at The Imperial Valley Press, where he was a reporter, a sports editor and city editor. He left in 1941 to join the Army Air Forces.
He advanced from private to lieutenant colonel and commanded a fighter group in Europe during World War II. His military honors included three Distinguished Flying Crosses and the French government's Croix de Guerre.
He returned to San Diego journalism in 1946, joining the San Diego Daily Journal as a reporter. He went on to become managing editor of the paper. He worked at the Los Angeles Examiner for a short time in 1950 before returning to San Diego to work for The Evening Tribune, where he served as city editor and later executive news editor.
Mr. Kinne returned to the Examiner as city editor in 1959. In 1962, he joined The San Diego Union, where he was named managing editor in 1968. He moved to the Tribune as editor in 1971.
Mr. Kinne was also a driving force in local tennis circles, teaching thousands of youngsters over the years. He offered free tennis lessons on weekends and helped organize one of the first novice tournaments in San Diego in the early 1950s. He was among the first 10 members of the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame, along with Maureen Connolly and Wilbur Folsom.
Among Mr. Kinne's young students was Brian Teacher, who went on to win the Australian Open in 1980.
Paul Strong, Mr. Kinne's nephew, said his uncle enjoyed teaching and would teach anyone who was interested.
"He had a passion for it," Strong said. "There were a number of kids who went through his clinic who ended up getting college (tennis) scholarships."
Mr. Kinne moved to North Carolina in 1981 after his retirement from newspapers to operate a tennis club. He sold the business and returned to San Diego in 1997.
The former journalists who held Mr. Kinne in high esteem included author Sid Fleischman, who modeled a character in his children's book after his former editor. A benevolent ship captain in "The Giant Rat of Sumatra" is named Fred B. Kinne.
Frederick B. Kinne was born March 8, 1916, in Fort Apache, Ariz., to Grace Gibbins and Frank Kinne. He grew up in Imperial Valley but had family in San Diego and attended San Diego High School his senior year.
He attended junior college in El Centro, where a former high school teacher taught English and journalism, said his sister, Shirley Strong of San Diego.
In addition to his sister, Mr. Kinne is survived by a brother, John of San Diego; and several nieces and nephews.

Fred Kinne: Tennis club founder dies at 93 Kinne opened Oak Hills Racquet Club
Tennis club founder dies at 93
Herald-Journal (Spartanburg, SC) - Thursday, August 13, 2009
Fred Kinne, a southern California newspaper editor who moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the 1980s to open a tennis club in Hendersonville, died Sunday at age 93.
Kinne moved to Hendersonville in 1981 after his retirement from newspapers and opened the Oak Hills Racquet Club, where he pursued a passion for teaching tennis and developing young players. He sold the clubs and returned to San Diego in 1997 but is still fondly remembered in his adopted home by tennis players and the youngsters he coached.
"He was one sweetheart of a man," said Ralph Wingerter, a friend and fellow player and coach who knew Kinne during his time here. "I worked with him many times on children's contests and tournaments. He was a marvelous guy.
"He cooperated with me. He helped me with my programs and I helped him with his programs," Wingerter said.
Wingerter was an independent coach, and in a lot of communities club owners would not give independents access.
"Kinne wasn't that way," he said. "He loved the game of tennis. Right up until the time he left he was involved in coaching."
Won 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses
Kinne was a driving force in San Diego tennis circles, teaching thousands of youngsters over the years. He offered free tennis lessons on weekends and helped organize one of the first novice tournaments in San Diego in the early 1950s, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported in a news story on his death.
Among his young students was Brian Teacher, who went on to win the Australian Open in 1980.
Paul Strong, Kinne's nephew, told the San Diego newspaper that his uncle enjoyed teaching and would teach anyone who was interested.
"He had a passion for it," Strong said. "There were a number of kids who went through his clinic who ended up getting college (tennis) scholarships."

Kinne returned to the Examiner as city editor in 1959. In 1962, he joined the San Diego Union, where he was named managing editor in 1968. He moved to the Tribune as editor in 1971.
While at the Evening Tribune, Kinne covered a mid-air collision between a Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a small private plane on Sept. 25, 1978. The coverage of the crash that killed 144 people won a Pulitzer Prize.
"Everybody wanted to please him," said friend Jack Gregg, who worked with Kinne at the Evening Tribune. "He was fair and he knew how to get the best out of everybody."
Kinne is survived by his sister and brother, and several nieces and nephews.
