This is one of the reasons I wanted to get back with people from the Times. Many a friend I made in my 27+ years with the Times.
I could care less about the politics and disputes we may have HAD with management. People are people.
Matt and I had many a conversations... they were always enjoyable. I can't imagine that he is gone, he was young.
This for no other reason, makes me hope those who have left the Times for whatever reason, and those who are still there, keep in touch with fellow workers.
My thoughts to those who may have left us so far.
