My classmate is faaaaaamous!

Well, kind of. Tim Lynch got a shout out on LA Observed after news came out that he would be leaving the L.A. Times after almost two decades at the newspaper giant.

I've talked to several people who described Lynch as much more than just a "senior copy chief." They've likened him to the man behind the music --- basically the A1 guru. They also seemed saddened by the idea of a longtime cheerleader for journalism leaving the business.

A sign of the times, (and the Times) I guess.
