Loyal readers of the “print product” will recognize the name Gretel C. Kovach from her byline in the magazine. Gretel was a contributing editor for us for two years, during which stint she wrote about the nasty Hunt vs. Hunt battle, the rise and fall of Eleanor Mowry Sheets, and, most recently, some unsavory goings-on within Dallas Fire-Rescue. Her last story for us will appear in the March issue, as Gretel has accepted a new post that will take her to beautiful San Diego. It is with some sadness that I tell you she’s taken a job as a military affairs correspondent for the Union-Tribune. She hopes to travel to Afghanistan this summer to report on the Marine Corps surge of troops from Camp Pendleton.
Gretel is a fine writer, a dogged reporter, and a joy to have a beer with. We’ll miss her, and we wish her safe travels.
