Andrew’s Farewell To Nashua

Filed under General by nick pappas at 9:40 pm

"Andrew, it’s been an absolute pleasure."

Those were among my parting words Friday to staff reporter Andrew Nelson, who is leaving The Telegraph after more than eight years of gracing our pages — first as our night police reporter and more recently as our eyes and ears inside City Hall.

Andrew is putting his newspaper career temporarily on hold to do what all good husbands do — support his wife as she begins a new job in Atlanta.

Of course, Andrew couldn’t get out of town without sharing a few thoughts with our readers, so please be sure to read his farewell "Nashua … from the inside" column in The Sunday Telegraph.

Here is a brief excerpt:

"One of the bonuses of working at a newspaper is watching history unfold. And we get that in spades in Nashua. It was fun to crowd into Marguerite’s Place with lanky presidential candidate Bill Bradley to listen to teary stories of women getting back on their feet. Walking the Lake Street neighborhood with Al Gore looking for votes was a treat. Who wouldn’t love chili served up by John Kerry."

Telegraph reporters have covered City Hall before Andrew, and surely they will cover City Hall now that he is gone.

But for a while it just won’t feel the same. We’ll miss his professionalism, his signature laugh and his glass-is-always-half-full disposition.

And we’d like to think many of you will, too.

    It is with great sadness that I read of Andrew's move to Atlanta. Andrew always treated this white-haired grandmother with the greatest respect in my novice efforts as an activist and advocate for public access tv. His reporting on interviews with me was always courteous and accurate and I will miss him greatly. I could always rely on him to steer me in the right direction in my pursuit of coverage by the media in matters that involved my particular areas of interest and concern, and for that kindness and consideration, I thank him. Nick, please let the readers know how we can email Andrew and wish him well. He was a great asset to the Telegraph news team and I don't know how you will replace him. He was a gentleman and a great reporter. I hope that during the time he reported for the Telegraph he had some understanding of how much the readers enjoyed his articles, especially "From the Inside". For those of us with ties to Atlanta perhaps we will "read" him or meet him again. Thanks Andrew and Good Luck and God Bless!
