My Prayers Answered David Reinhard Leaving Oregonian [View All]

[Parche]

And one more thing: David Reinhard says thank you, and goodbye
by David Reinhard, The Oregonian Sunday November 09, 2008, 4:06 PM
A couple of Sundays back I mentioned in a column on our uncivil political discourse that I would be leaving The Oregonian after the election. Some readers believed it was my final column and probably have wondered how they can miss me if I never leave.


David ReinhardToday's column is my last. I'm leaving. I promise.
It is an odd thing to walk away from a job you once so longed to have. I wanted to a follow in the line of H.L. Mencken, Red Smith, Murray Kempton, G.K. Chesterton and Malcolm Muggeridge. I wanted to be what St. Augustine once called "a vendor of words." I wanted to be a newspaper columnist in the worst way, and no doubt many readers would say I achieved just that goal early in my career here. But it's time to move on.
