They left without saying goodbye

Chip Bok and Dave Giffels said "goodbye" in two posts below, but as one of our faithful viewers points out there are three others just leaving who did not have the opportunity to say farewell to their readers in print.: Their photos are here in a vain effort to make up for our own feeble efforts.

Current city hall reporter Carl Chancellor, deputy metro editor Keith McKnight are gone and Metro Editor Ann (Sheldon) Mezger will .be staying only until Thanksgiving to help Rick Desrosiers with the transition of what's left of the staff.

Except for this blog, there would have been no public mention of the 18 leaving the Beacon Journal this mornth with more than 273 years of service. Chancellor had 24 years and 10 months of service. We do not know how many years Ann and Keith had because as managers they are not on the Guild roster.

We, of course, would love to hear any farewell comments and our viewers want to know what happens to the careers of each of them.

We can only say "Well done" to the good and faithful BJ employees.
