Bye-bye P-I: One man's -30-

As someone who is priveliged to have met AB, and even seen his kitchen and mancave, I am truly, truly sorry for you, your wonderful family, and all of your co-workers.

You were tremendous to all of us who paid a visit last summer, a credit to the profession, and I echo the sentiment others have expressed that you continue to write. The world would be poorer without it.

 

Best wishes to you. Any of us could be next.

 

David,
The words 'thoughts,' 'prayers' and 'hugs' seem little solace to the pain you and you colleagues are suffering today.
But it's all I have right now.
Best of luck. Keep writing.
Angela

 

So sorry, AB

 

Not to muck this thread up too much, but if you want to help the PI sports department have a night to remember please PM me.

 

AB,

It is so hard to witness the death of an industry we obviously love more than those who are running it. But all of us, when we go, will take with us the knowledge that we did our best until the end, whenever that end of the road comes for us. Good luck in your next endeavor and take your talents and skills to a place that will appreciate you. I know when I was in Seattle for assignments the Seattle writers were nothing if not incredibly helpful and friendly to me. It's a beautiful city that will be a little less wonderful after tomorrow's newspaper death.

 

David,

So sorry to hear this. Best of luck with whatever comes next.

Just make sure it's good Scotch. That's all you can do at this point.

 

AB, so sorry to hear the news--best of luck to you and everyone else up there.

 

You guys are going to go out in style tonight, AB. Drink up, P-I brethren.

 

AB: I can't say it any better than Moddy. You're an inspiration to us all, man. Hang in there. - BW

 

I'm so sorry for everything that's happened to you and your colleagues, David.
