"I was hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst, and unfortunately, I got the worst end.''
-- Sports reporter Dayton Morinaga, who is losing his job this weekend after 20 years with The Honolulu Advertiser. Only 28 of the former Gannett daily's 120 newsroom employees will keep their jobs when the paper is merged Sunday with the rival Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Gannett sold the paper to the Star-Bulletin's owner early last month. In all, about half the Advertiser's nearly 600 workers will be out of work -- many, after decades spent at the paper.
