Title: So does this mean that Chris Rattey is moving on?

"Parting message for TideSports members from me", Chris Rattey, 6/7
http://alabama.rivals.com/forum.asp?sid=885&fid=427&style=2


I'm not a member of Tidesports but do go to the Homepage sometimes and read headlines and articles by Cecil Hurt.  I noticed this about halfway down the front page of Talk of Champions posted yesterday.

Yeah he's going to Boston.  He sent a message to his FB friends a week or so ago.  I THINK he leaves next week.  He's a nice guy. I wish him the best

I just went back to the message. He is moving to Boston and going to work for the Globe.  June 10 is his last day here and he starts in Boston June 20.

I worked for a company HQ loacted just outside Boston. Every year I would travel there for 2 weeks training. I would go there sometimes 4 times a year. That weather I could not handle. I know I was in Boston 1 June day and the temperture was 42 and high winds. I could not suvive there.
Too-cold.
Good luck to Chris Ratty.In Boston

I think he is from New England,... so he's probably used to the climate.

If he does, I will owe the both of you a bucket full of e-creds.

A company HQed just north of Boston is the prime contractor on the program I work on.  I've been up there about a dozen times in the past couple years.  Their weather is much more varied than ours...I've been a couple times in 12+ snow and I've been when the weather is low 90s.  New England's low 90s are much more tolerable than the humid South though.

Someone over at the Woolly said he's going back to the job he left when coming to the TNews.  I don't know if that's completely accurate, but probably at least the same company.

Makes you wonder how everything is jelling over at the new TS site.

But then a lot of people get homesick and want to go back to their roots.

He told me that he would "check it out" :)

The Boston Globe has long been one of the country's most respected newspapers. Good for him.

I agree I've hung out with Rattey a number of times. One of the nicest guys I've ever known
