When journos get hitched

sonya and gene.jpg

Sonya Geis and Gene Maddaus met as fellow staff writers at the Pasadena Star-News. They are both wonderfully gifted writers and reporters -- natural bird dogs, naturally skeptical, blessed with a healthy innate notion that authority is naturally to be questioned. When I hired them, I had no idea that romance would bloom. But it did, and they up and got married last month in Sonya's home state of Minnesota, with Gene's family jetting in from upstate New York. There was a party for the couple a few weeks ago in the back patio at Warszawa in Santa Monica where I took this shot. Both have moved on from Pasadena -- Sonya first to the Washington Post's L.A. bureau and then to "Which Way L.A.?" and "To the Point" at KCRW, Gene to our sister paper, the Daily Breeze, in the South Bay. But they are not forgotten here -- and we miss them. Mazel tov!
