Goodbye, Durham and Middlefield

If you haven’t heard by now, I’m leaving Patch.

As much as I could sit here and go on forever about all of the amazing friendships that have grown out of my reporting in Durham and Middlefield (oh yeah, and Killingworth), this is the internet and you’ve probably got things to do, so I’ll keep it simple: I loved this job and the great memories it afforded me.

Three years ago Durham and Middlefield welcomed me with open arms and today I bid farewell. It is with both sadness and excitement that I say goodbye.

Patch will continue to serve Durham and Middlefield under the guidance of editor Ronald DeRosa. For questions or story suggestions, you can email him at ronald.derosa@patch.com.

If you’d like to stay in touch with me or find out where I’m headed, email me at mikebhayes79@gmail.com.
