Saying Goodbye to the Boss

Patch local editors from the Peninsula gathered last night in Redwood City to say goodbye to our boss, who's moving to a new Patch position in the Boston area.

Last night, we said goodbye to a boss, and a friend.

Jamie White, the regional editor of our Peninsula group of 12 Patch sites, is leaving us in just a couple of weeks to assume a regional editor position in the Boston area.

"You are all so amazing," said Jamie in an e-mail sent to the group this morning. "Thank you so so much for the surprise going away dinner and party last night!!! I can't tell you how much it meant to me to have you all there, it makes this move that much harder knowing that I won't get to work with each of you every day, but I know someone will be extremely fortunate [as I've told you a thousand times!!]  to inherit my wonderful team."

Jamie, husband Eric, and one-year-old son Holden will leave for Boston in mid-July; she will take over as the regional editor about August 1.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
