SOME PERSONAL NEWS: After 13 years at @WRAL⁩, today is my last day. I’m excited to start a new chapter and be a stay-at-home mom & freelancer. My husband ⁦@JustinQberry⁩ created this sweet goodbye video for me. I cried watching it because I will truly miss everyone.

@MandyCline47 @jspeiser @thesamparr thanks, Mandy :)

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

so @thesamparr and I get a ton of emails per day, well Sam does at least, and most are so spammy.

every now and then 1 stands out. Today @RecordsGeek sent this - gotta say it caught my attention.

funny enough we may be needing a writer for Samslist in the near future, you can guess who will be our first DM.

Take note, it's not that hard to stand out, just gotta try a lil more than other guys/gals.

@j_tibs - Favorite financial advice books and experts? Least favorite?
- Best decision they've made with money and worst?
- How to teach kids about finances?
- What does a "rich life" mean to them? What salary or net worth? What lifestyle, etc.?

[Kelly Hinchcliffe @RecordsGeek]

@j_tibs - What net worth should people aim for? Also, please ask them to explain net worth. It's not salary. It's what you own minus what you owe. It confuses people sometimes.

Was perusing the schedule for an upcoming national conference of police chiefs and spotted this seminar. I’m kinda proud lol

Rick, it was an honor to work with you at @wral. I always loved watching you calmly, confidently walk around the newsroom during breaking news and lead the team. I admired your leadership style and kindness. Congrats on your well-deserved retirement. You will surely be missed.

Alex, I'm so sad you're leaving @EducationNC but can't wait to hear what's next. I loved working on stories with you & sitting next to each other at countless board meetings. You always made me smile & laugh. It was an honor to report beside you. Best wishes, my friend.

[Alex Granados @agranadoster]

I have some personal news. Today is my last day @EducationNC. It has been a privilege to write for you all, and I am going to miss everybody. Especially my colleagues. Thank you for these 8+ years. Here is a note I wrote about my departure: https://t.co/hR5yAynRpb #nced #ncga

@dawnbvaughan @newsobserver Congrats, Dawn! So happy to see you thriving and doing awesome at work. Miss our lunches from years ago :)

[Kelly Hinchcliffe @RecordsGeek]

@cullenbrowder @WRAL Cullen, I have so many memories working with you. Winning Emmys, doing a stakeout & literally chasing an interview, you comforting me when I got a scary call about my dad's health, etc. You're the best. Here are some pics I took of you. I'm sure I have more somewhere. Congrats!

[Kelly Hinchcliffe @RecordsGeek]

@Billy_K_Ball Billy, that was such a beautiful tribute. What a loved little boy. He is a hero for helping others. I’m thinking of you and your family. 💜

[Kelly Hinchcliffe @RecordsGeek]

So proud of my husband @JustinQberry and his @SpecNews1RDU colleagues @CarolineBNews, @LeeRingerWx & @AdrianneBTV for their TV News Anchor Team of the Year 2nd place win! Congrats to the entire @SpecNews1RDU team on their awards!

I hate to see the devastating impacts on Pawley’s Island from #HurricaneIan

Here’s a drone photo of the pier I took during a peaceful sunrise just last week.

[Kelly Hinchcliffe @RecordsGeek]

@TWallack Thanks, Todd! It was truly a highlight of my career doing that presentation with you. Good memories :)

[Kelly Hinchcliffe @RecordsGeek]

So proud of you @JustinQberry ❤️ Love your smile 😊

[Justin Quesinberry @JustinQberry]

It means so much to me to
help people wake up each morning and I have fun doing it!

I think that’s captured in this new @SpecNews1RDU promo. The marketing and creative services team did a great job on it.

@MEnewspaper I really enjoyed reading this story. Such a fascinating guy. I'll have to buy the book and support my fellow Mebanite.
