Haas Thanksgiving: Lois, Dennis and his folks Wayne and Verna
A report from Dennis and Lois Haas in St. Pete
After retiring from Knight-Ridder with 30 years, we moved to Saint Petersburg, FL. and I got a job with the St. Petersburg Times in their IT department. The Times has been a great place to work and I've enjoyed every moment of it.
We really love St. Pete, which has been experiencing a renewed renovation of the downtown area. Lots of new condos, restaurants, and shops. Every Saturday morning they close off a street downtown for a farmers'’ market and then the first Friday night of each month they have a block party downtown.
As for us, the warmer the better. Lois and I bought a home that's 10 minutes from work (located downtown) or the beach. This past year's experience with three hurricanes is something we hope doesn't become the norm. We managed to escape with only minor damage and was only without power for 3 days.
Happy holidays!

As a former St. Pete Times Sports Dept. guy (1966-67), I can attest to the quest for quality that drives the Times. Once I came back north to Dayton and Akron, it was at least 20 years before I was dealing with color that was anywhere near the status of my St. Pete days.
