Someone might tell that to Marc Beauchamp, who hasn’t been the Record Searchlight’s business reporter for some time now, but still blogs on Redding.com.
Today he posted a royal whopper of a mistake when he said he heard Dugan Barr held a retirement bash in The Mall in downtown Redding yesterday.
Wrong.
The truth is Dugan’s party in The Mall celebrated 40 years of practicing law.
I didn’t “hear” this. I know it because I attended the party, where Dugan’s friends joined in congratulating him on a long and successful career as a lawyer, and many, many more years to come.
Let’s review, shall we?
An anniversary is not the same as retirement.
And gossip is not the same as accurate reporting.
