I’m happy to have attracted Norman’s attention, but this isn’t quite the spin I would have given the situation. It’s true that I was informed rather than consulted, but while I was disappointed by the decision, and especially that they didn’t print my farewell, I understand their reasoning in both cases. Of course I don’t agree with them, but all in all the Citizen has been good to me for the better part of three decades.
You gave them 30 years and they wouldn’t print your farewell?
Shame on them.
So who’s the replacement? Can’t find anything online.
Richard Todd will be GREATLY missed. Mr.Todd — thanks for all of it.
