Headed back to Michigan

I’ll keep this brief since a reporter shouldn’t be near an op-ed page. I wrote a few stories for the Pilot over an 11-month period and now I’m leaving, back to my home state, Michigan, where I will be editor of a newspaper.

My departure is not because I don’t like the Pilot or the town. This newspaper is full of people with character and grit and love. Petersburg is lucky to have it. I’d like to stay, but this opportunity presented itself.

Thank you to those who read the newspaper. You fight the good fight just by glancing at it. Also, to the newsmakers, the sources, thank you.

To Ron and Anne...
