THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Insider Diva
It is with much sorrow and regret that we say good-bye to our Senior
Editor, Richard. (From now on, those typos are my fault!) This will be the
last Insider he gets to rip to shreds and reassemble into a coherent read.
Okay, so he doesn't usually change THAT much. I will miss Richard's
skills, encouragement, and mostly his zany sense of humor, which seems
to work so well with mine. We wish Richard tons of luck in his new job in
the Williamstown area, and I personally hope he and his wife Erin enjoy
raising their new daughter Kelly as much as I enjoyed baby-sitting her
last night. She's a good kid. [Whattaya mean, "good"? She's great! -- Ed.]
Speaking of Erins that are moms — Chris Young's wife Erin is due in less
than a month! Margaret threw Chris and Erin a baby shower this past
Saturday, where they received lots of useful and educational gifts and
goodies for their new son or daughter. This baby will no doubt be
well-clothed and well-entertained!
Last Friday was Michelle Greenleaf's last day, and of course, there was a
party for the bitingly sarcastic golf-enthusiast. Again, the week ended with
beer — not a bad thing — but also with good-byes. Michelle, known for not
hesitating to say what's on her mind, will be sorely missed in meetings
where nothing funny is ever said. She was always good for a line (read:
laugh) or two! Michelle is also set on remaining in the Berkshires. Must be
the abundance of beautiful golf courses. Good luck, Michelle!
