Daily News Columnist Dennis McCarthy To Retire

By Matthew Fleischer on January 24, 2012 11:20 AM

After 40 years with the Daily News, columnist Dennis McCarthy is calling it a career. He goes out on top, with some great lines in his last piece.

“Now it’s time for me to walk out before I’m carried out.

Print journalism is going digital at warp speed and I’m an old ink and paper guy. I look around the city room today and feel like Grandpa Walton.

Anyone need an old Royal typewriter, Rolodex, 2004 copy of the San Fernando Valley white pages, and a well thumbed Webster’s?”

McCarthy has gotten some interesting goodbyes from readers in the comment section of his piece. We especially liked this one.
