Bob Shallit, the business columnist for the Sacramento Bee who is retiring at the end of the month, reminisces about his job in a column Thursday.
Shallit writes, “All in all, it’s been a great run. And over the past few weeks, as word of my retirement plans has circulated, I’ve heard from hundreds of people who feel the column kept them informed and amused.
“I can’t tell you how gratifying that is.
“But I also have to say this: The column was successful only because so many people – business leaders, real estate brokers, lawyers, public employees and lots of others – called in regularly with the latest news or gossip from their workplaces, neighborhoods and shopping hangouts.
“To all those tipsters – and you know who you are – just let me say: Thank you very, very much.
“I can only hope that my successor, new business columnist Cathie Anderson, is the beneficiary of such generous support.”
