    I bought a couple of tomato plants this week. Given the times, it seems to be the thing to do. I guess these Celebrity Tomato plants are my way to remember the late Bobby Catoe, who died April 26.
    I was acquainted with Catoe, but got to know him while covering the city and county government beats for The Lancaster News in the late 1990s.
