So long from Bill Hass
After 36 years of covering sports for the Greensboro Record, the Greensboro Daily News and the News & Record, I'm retiring.
This has been a great community for writing about sports, from youth leagues to high schools to colleges to professional teams, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. There are too many memories to begin listing them here, from events to personalities I've met and covered through the years. I don't want to leave anyone out. I just want to pass along my heartfelt thanks to everyone who read my stories, whether you first ran across them in 1969 or last week. I hope they proved worthy of your time.
I don't plan to fade into the sports woodwork. I plan to continue to cover games and write about people, and I hope you'll see my byline in this paper again as a "Special To The News & Record."
Until then, the pleasure has been all mine.

I wish you well, too. I hope you will consider blogging in addition to doing some specials for the N&R. We need your voice to stay in the conversation.

From one News & Record alum to another, it's a shame to see you go Bill. Take care in "retirement" and I wish you the best.

Retiring, Bill?
From another News & Record alum, I can't believe it. Take care in retirement Bill. Hopefully I can get down to that new ballpark and see a Hoppers' game with you someday.
Best wishes.

It has been a pleasure reading your articles over the years. As a print journalism major at A&T and a stringer of the News & Record, you have defintely been a writer to learn from.
Best wishes!
