Darrell Kunitomi Leaving the Los Angeles Times

With the current buyout in full force at the Los Angeles Times, rumors of colleagues leaving the newspaper are heard throughout the company. Last week I heard our favorite, and only remaining tour guide, Darrell Kunitomi would be leaving the company at the end of March. And unfortunately, this rumor proved to be true.

I met Darrel over three decades ago at Times Mirror Square, and our paths have crossed many times in all those years, always with a smile and a cheerful word. We will certainly miss the weekly visits from Darrell and his group of tourist tagging along his side.
