Wow. Best of luck with the next chapter.

John Hassell · 1 year ago

Thanks, Mark. Now I have more time to read your squibs!

Best wishes, John. Know it was hard for you to leave, as it was for me. But you'll find the sabbatical very refreshing and energizing.

John Hassell · 1 year ago

Very hard, yes. Thanks for the good wishes, and right back atcha.

John Robinson · 1 year ago

This leaves me momentarily speechless. I'm going to miss your voice and leadership. Come back elsewhere. Godspeed.

John Hassell · 1 year ago

Oh, I'll be back. You can count on that. In the meantime, I have more time to read The Editor's Log. :)

John - I am thrilled for you and know how it feels to leave a job that was right. I just left a position as executive director of a homeless shelter to do human resources at an exclusive private school. I am not completely extricated from my former responsibilities, but soon I will be down to one job. My kids are already better off and able to take the variety of "lessons" that kids their age want to take (boy-8, girl-6).

Anyway, enjoy the time, get your head together and decide what you want to do next!
Other than my sister you are my longest friend. Would love to reconnect.

Mindy :o )

Mindy! How cool is this? I'm glad to hear things are going well for you, and let's definitely catch up. I'll send you a note separately.

John: Good luck on your next venture. Given your smarts and commitment, I know it will go well. Best wishes, Michele

You're too kind, Michele. As soon as I get settled, I'll be in touch. I look forward to working with you again.

John - Just saw this, really sorry to hear that your time at the Star Ledger had to end this way, but I'm certain the future is bright :) Look forward to speaking/tweeting soon,

Laura
