David Baines, who has had nearly 4,000 bylines in the Vancouver Sun in the past 25 years after working in banking, is retiring from the newspaper.
He says business editor Derrick Penner will be writing more about the investigative topics he covered.
Baines writes, “Over the past quarter century, The Sun has published 3,887 stories under my byline. Most of those stories are about people who, one way or another, tried to take unfair advantage of others. Having the voice to run interference with those people has been a great privilege and satisfaction for me.
“That all comes to an end today. When the Pacific Newspaper Group indicated it was willing to buy out employees, I put my hand up. I am 64 years old. It comes at a good time.
“Whenever I mention that I am retiring, people invariably say two things. The first is ‘congratulations.’ I am not sure why. I do not view retirement as slipping the surly bonds of servitude. Perhaps it is the mere fact that I have survived that many years without too many scars.”
