Helen Ubinas has always been blunt.
So it is no surprise that she stays in character while announcing her departure from The Courant.
This is a huge loss for the newspaper and hopefully a fresh start for Helen, who has put many a deserving big shot — from the governor on down — in his place.



Best of luck, Helen. THIS will cheer you up …

Helen…you were such a pleasure to read and to work with…call if you ever get down to Washington!
Helen is and still will be one of the best people I got to know during my time at The Courant. You left on your terms friend, and I know you would have had it no other way. Now! Where’s the party going to be!!
