Bill Yarbrough has left the Los Angeles Times

Thursday night marked the last night at the Los Angeles Times Orange County Production Facility for long time pressroom supervisor Bill Yarbrough. After spending over thirty years in the pressroom Bill felt the time was right to throw the towel in and retire instead of making the long commute to the Los Angeles Times Olympic Facility located in Los Angeles.

His former colleagues had nothing but praise for Bill, and mentioned many of the qualities he employed while running the pressroom as a shift supervisor.

Bill pictured on the left with the Orange County Pressroom Manager Steve Kawatski had some plans for after work with an eighteen pack of beer between them.

Bill's last command was printing over sixty thousand newspapers for the Olympic Facility on Thursday night when the facility fell behind in meeting production goals.

Cheers to you Bill Yarbrough for a job well done.
