Final column from a PNW heavyweight

[micropolitan guy]

Ken Goe is retiring after 43 years at The Oregonian. One of the great guys in our business, as anyone who has ever met him will attest.

Goe: It’s been a long, strange, 43-year ride and it’s come to an end

Congrats to Ken. Glad he is (I hope) going out on his own terms. Retirement is the best. He has survived a lot of goofball bosses at the Oregonian.

Strong column. He avoided being negative, which had to be challenging when comparing the 1977 Oregonian to today's version.

Nice to see Goe take a victory lap. He's earned it. We've seen too many tenures ending with a tweet lately.

The Oregonian ran a full-page ad in his honor. Classy move.
