Reuters’ Miami correspondent says goodbye

Kevin Gray, the Miami correspondent for Reuters, said farewell Friday to his colleagues in the following email:

My Reuters journey comes to an end today.

Before I sign off from Miami for the last time, I want to say thanks for the camaraderie, support and good laughs.

I would like to especially thank Mary Milliken, a terrific team leader who first hired me in Argentina. A very special thanks too to Kieran Murray, a top-notch editor. And a hearty toast to Pascal Fletcher, a generous bureau chief and mentor.

To the desk editors in New York and Washington, it has been an enormous pleasure working with you.

Tambien me gustaria mandar un abrazo muy grande a todos los colegas en America Latina, particularmente en Buenos Aires. Muchos de ustedes no solamente me ayudaron a entender las politicas y las economias de la region, sino mas importante todavia, a sentir America Latina como mi segunda casa, un sentimiento que siempre llevare conmigo.

Ahora, no quiero ofender a nadie de los paises mundialistas, les deseo a todos muchisima suerte, pero lo tengo que decir: Vaaaaaaaamos Argentina!!!!

Have fun and please stay in touch. My email is kevingray15@yahoo.com and you’ll also find me on LinkedIn.
