From the Editor: Remembering Michael Durand
I am sad to say that on Saturday, May 30, Michael Durand peacefully passed away after 70 years of life. He will be dearly missed… He has been an incredible mentor, friend and teacher to me and so many other young journalists. I will always be grateful for the time we spent together and truly touched by the opportunities he has given me.

Congratulations to the organizers of this year’s Lunar New Year Night Market and Parade held on Saturday, Feb. 7 on Outer Balboa Street. It was a fabulous event that drew more than 5,000 neighbors and friends to the gathering. The weather cooperated, which made the afternoon and evening truly lovely.

I was headed to day one of the Outside Lands Music Festival, walking from the N-Judah along 34th Avenue toward Golden Gate Park. I saw a group of friends up ahead and they happened to start walking in the same direction just as I was passing by.

It was a lucky day for the Richmond Review and Sunset Beacon newspapers when Megan Robertson came to our desk at an event last year and asked if we needed any writers.

I watched in horror as the Santa Ana winds in Southern California last month reached hurricane-strength speeds which spread fires through entire neighborhoods leaving death and destruction.
From the Editor: In the Year 2025
In 1969, there was a hit song by Zager and Evans (who?) called “In the Year 2525.” As they counted up the years starting at 2525, the lyrics painted a rather bleak picture of a dystopian destiny for mankind.

I decided to use this extra space on the candidates’ page to remind readers that we don’t take sides on issues and don’t endorse candidates. The reason why is to try to present a balance of news and views and not use the power of the press to sway opinions one way or another.
From the Editor: New Updates
Regular readers of the Richmond Review might have noticed that this space on page two has been the home of Kinen Carvala’s “Looking Back” column for several years.
