Title: Inky columnist Ferrick takes early retirement
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
Romenesko e-mailed Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Tom Ferrick after getting a report that Friday is his last day at the paper. His reply: "It's true. I am leaving. After 30 years, I have achieved escape velocity. I am taking early retirement to -- what's that phrase they always use? -- pursue other interests. But, I do have a contract to do columns in connection with the mayor's race for at least 6 months, so my name and face will be appearing in the paper for a while, to the delight of some readers and the dismay of others."
