Another Piloteer Flees The Coop

MR. ANDERSON MOVES ON...
In a blog entry today, HERE, Daily Pilot City Editor, Paul Anderson, announced to the world that he will be leaving the Daily Pilot for an assignment with City News Service later this month. He will be working the Orange County bureau, headquartering in scenic Santa Ana.

NO 'MO MONA, EITHER
This is a big loss for the Pilot, in my opinion. Paul is a very special newsman who loves "THE STORY". He's an excellent and prolific writer, as witnessed by the stories in the Pilot carrying his byline and his voluminous blog output. Plus, we won't get to see anymore pictures of his squeeze, the lovely Mona! Drat!

HELLO/GOOD-BYE
The timing is interesting. His last day at the Daily Pilot will be on July 29th but he's still scheduled for a "Meet the Editors" evening at The Newport Rib Company on Thursday, the 23rd. If he's still invited to the grub-and-gab fest next week it will be a good time to stop in, grab some great eats and to wish him well.

ADIOS, AMIGO...
So, we bid our pal, Paul, a fond adieu knowing the rascals in Santa Ana and environs now have a new pit bull to worry about. Sic 'em, amigo!
