solopaddler Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Stumbled across this job posting: OOD Job Posting Anyone know what happened to John Kerr? Cheers, Mark I was just talking with John last week about some writing for the magazine and he referred me to the travel editor James Smedley. I kind of wondered about it at the time. I've been an admirer of Mr. Kerr's for a long time. He's a very well respected outdoorsman and will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 They're looking for someone with a boater's card. I think that's called setting the bar way too high. Good luck to all postulants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigdritchie Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 As Chessy notes, John's retiring. He's been doing this shtick a long time. Wonderful man, and it's nice to see him and Mrs. K be able to spend more time together. Good luck to whoever he passes the torch to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 you ever see anyone walk off the wall on the east side .. long way down... usually good for 1 or 2 a year Nope, never did. Did have a guy forget to put his vehicle in gear/park at the old abutments down river of the dam. My buddy dive a sweet dive out of the way as it carreened past him into thetailout of the run. I was at the head of the run on the East side at the time and watched this guys car launch of a couple of giant boulders and into the river. Didn't mess up my fishing though!!!! :rofl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimace Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I wouldn't want that job. I would fear that there would be constant meddling by the OFAH. They have clearly turned the magazine from not just an outdoors magazine but a medium to push their political agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimace Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I rarely ever missed John Kerr's articles in the Sun either. I was disappointed when they ended and was pleased to hear that he resurfaced in OOD. So happy retirement to Mr Kerr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
