Dear readers,<\/p>\n
After 40 fulfilling years as a full-time newshound, it\u2019s time for me to sign off and ride into the sunset of retirement.<\/p>\n
The July 16 issue of the Point Loma-OB Monthly is the last with my involvement as editor, though my last full issue was in June.<\/p>\n
I joined in April 2020 as editor of the Monthly and the La Jolla Light, just after the onset of the pandemic, when most gatherings were shut down and the term \u201cworking remotely\u201d entered the common lexicon.<\/p>\n
For many, the latter never really changed \u2013 one of the many ways the world and our corner of it on the Peninsula are different now than they were six-plus years ago.<\/p>\n
Despite the rather tumultuous beginning to my time here, it\u2019s been a total pleasure and I\u2019ve enjoyed communicating and working with so many of you.<\/p>\n
But now it\u2019s time for my wife and I to embark on a full-time adventure in New Hampshire, where we can be in-person grandparents, close to our son and his family.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m confident the Monthly will continue to be a reliable source of information and enjoyment for the Point Loma-Ocean Beach community.<\/p>\n
I want to thank the staff at the Monthly, everyone at the Union-Tribune and especially all of you who have supported the Monthly through your readership and advertising.<\/p>\n
Wishing you the very best now and always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dear readers, After 40 fulfilling years as a full-time newshound, it\u2019s time for me to sign off and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[2579,120304,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-398019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-point-loma-ob-monthly","tag-point-loma-ob-monthly-opinion","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=398019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=398019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
