OBIT: Remembering a social media influencer long before that term existed. I, too, met Maria De Los Angeles, aka @vicequeenmaria, at the @MiamiHerald's first tweetup way back in 2009 when Twitter was a friendly gathering space.

Thank you so much. And how cool, a softball player too?
My late father used to play softball at Flamingo Park in the late-60s and 70s, while I climbed the trees and roof of the dugouts and scoreboard!
An outstanding tribute @HowardCohen for an incredibly great professional who surely gave journalism a very good name.
(and one heck of a softball player)

Thank you so much, @lrobertsonmiami. Coming from someone who’s such a master wordsmith I use your work on my syllabus for my students this means a lot. (Worth making a guest appearance on X for!)
@hpoinsett@thisdaymiamipod@MiamiHerald Did you expect Jimmy to perform his concerts for free, too, so that his fans could see him? Didn’t think so. Don’t expect me to work for free either. Do you?
Buffett, born in Mississippi, was perhaps more associated with Florida than any other musical artist. The great @HowardCohen talked to him last year about the schedule mix-up in Coral Gables that changed his career, and his life. This story is fantastic. https://t.co/s3PZ7mPq5d
Lolita the killer whale is remembered by her favorite humans. ‘She’s swimming free’
And, she gets sent on her way with a @HowardCohen obit, the last honor for South Florida icons.
