corrections to Abe Zaidain's Plain Dealer hit list. Regina Brett volunteered for layoff, but still will write for PD

Jim Romesko.com has corrections to Abe Zaidan’s Plain Dealer hit list.

UPDATE: From the Plain Dealer’s John Kroll:
Corrections I know of: These were volunteers — Margaret Bernstein, Tom Breckenridge, Dave Davis, Stan Donaldson, Pat Galbincea, Mark Gillispie, John Horton, Felesia Jackson, Doug Kramer, John Mangels, Racquel Robinson, Michael Scott, Scott Shaw, Harlan Spector. Not sure, but Deborah Miller and Bill Piotrowski may have been volunteers too. I think there were several others.
Also, this does not count two non-Guild managers — me, the Online Editor, a volunteer, and Randy Roguski, Business Editor./
Cindy Baecker was a photo tech, not a clerk. John Gruner was an editor in the features department, not a reporter. Felesia Jackson was an interactive graphics specialist. Mike Scott was a city desk editor, not a reporter. (In fact, Scott was the online coordinator for the metro desk.)
Another volunteer: columnist Regina Brett. She’s posted to Facebook that she chose to take the layoff to make room for someone else who might not want to leave, and will still write for the paper regularly, presumably as a freelancer.
A couple of things worth noting: Regina and Margaret were the paper’s only full-time female columnists (an editorial writer, Sharon Broussard, also writes columns).
Carl Matzelle, sports clerk, has lost his job to a layoff for the second time here. He had been a reporter when he was cut in the last big round, then got hired back as a clerk.
