GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK!

The month of February has started out with a sad yet happy surprise... Mark has left the building, for good.... moving on to another adventure at the San Fernando Business Journal, where I am sure he will thrive. Yet, I will miss re-arranging his fish every day... even though the question was asked to me by my boss... "is that what we pay you for...?" She was kidding of course when by chance she caught me in the act... just one precious minute of down time in our very busy newsroom.
And who can forget the COOKIES! Mark is the biggest cookie monster of all time.... and I do believe he was getting spoiled with my pretzels toward the end.
We covered an array of assignments together and I will miss him... he is always a great reporter to work with and an all around sweet guy, once you get over his dry humor, which I enjoyed very much.
We had one of our now famous last lunch for him... which included even the sports department's Tully, as well as JB, who can't resist a reason to come by and say hi-good-bye..... as well as getting the latest gossip.
GOOD LUCK MARK! May the sun shine on your byline!
