Some in our midst have a tendency to harrumph "Good riddance" whenever someone moves away from Spokane.

Which is sort of dumb, because there are many different reasons people leave. Many of them are not expressions of dissatisfaction with Spokane -- or at least not with every aspect of life here.

Sure, some of those who depart are not sorely missed. But a few leave a hole when they head down the road.

So here's my question.

If you were to draw up an all-star team of people you knew who moved away, who would make your short list?
