Good Luck Paul, & Thanks For The Memories
Thursday, December 04, 2008 1:18 PM
As many may have read in last week's issue of The Message, long time editor Paul Larochelle has left the paper to take a full time position in law enforcement, a profession he'd been in many years ago. Paul will be sorely missed here, as he has been such an integral part of The Message for the last two decades. Several e-mails and phone calls over the past week have let us know that many of our readers will miss Paul also.
The loss is very personal to me, as Paul and I have worked very closely together for six years in a job that can have a considerable amount of stress and pressure, while staying good friends. The fact that I tend to be upbeat and optimistic, while Paul is, shall we say, a bit darker, could not have been easy for him.
