Dick Tracy, a reporter and editor who anchored The Sacramento Bee's garden section for more than 30 years, died late last month. He was 84. Tracy died peacefully Feb. 28 at his home in Grass Valley following complications from multiple illnesses, family said. Tracy joined The Bee in 1969, shortly after he earned his bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Nevada, Reno, and after a part-time stint with what is now the Reno Gazette-Journal. He went on to become a master gardener – a distinction he earned by completing an intensive University of California horticulture program.
