Yes, Kathy Kaufield left the Capital for Saint John last week and in a way?

It’s not the same!!! It's sad....

I first came face to face with this reporter from the Telegraph Journal around three years ago and I always found her friendly.

Trust me??? I often agitated this Irving reporter of her stories or the Irving Empire.

Never once did she ever raise her voice at me. She always took it in strides.

I remember one story that she wrote about T.J. Burke and Margaret-Ann Blaney being voted the sexiest MLA’s in the Legislature!



I approached Kathy and said- My god???? That story was on the front Page????

SLOW NEWS DAY OR WHAT???

ISN'T THERE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES TO COVER IN THE CAPITAL THAN THIS ONE???

COME ON????? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!

She quickly answered- Did you read it???

I told her that I indeed read the story!



She replied - I did my job then!!!!

Yes, she always had an answer for every statement that came from my mouth....LOL

As a reporter in the Capital, she did a great job.

She had her sources and was responsible in bringing down Tony Huntjens.



I wonder who’s going to replace her?

In the past, I would say that it’s a good thing for new blood to work as a reporter in the Capital but it takes years to make your contacts.

Even while going on a nice walk in the Capital? She was on the phone working on a story for the readers.



Sure is different walking by the Legislature and not seeing her behind her desk working on political stories.



I used to walk by and would always give her a friendly wave.



Her chair is empty and it’s different!

So, Kathy Kaufield is moved to Saint John and expecting her second child.



I believe the child would have breath cleaner air in Fredericton?...lol….



She’ll be missed and I wish Kathy the best of luck in her future!!!!
