Another positive asset has flown the CNMI coup. Irascible Jeff Turbitt, writer, teacher, diver, ex-bon vivant – now family man, has packed up his family and moved to the desert southwest. Phoenix will be richer; Saipan will be poorer for his move.
He follows scores, nay hundreds of others who have left and precedes hundreds, maybe thousands more who will follow him on the exodus out of Saipan.
Jeff and I seldom agreed on things political or philosophical but managed to become good friends and scuba diving buddies none the less.
Jeff fell in love on Saipan and married Cynthia, a charming girl and inherited a 2 child instant family and recently added Baby Ashley to his tribe. So he came as a bachelor and returns to the States as a family of 5.
Bon Voyage Jeff and Family. May you find green pastures and blue skies.

Thanks Bruce. I'll miss lots about Saipan, notably a charter member of the cranky club like you.
Nice to see Jeff prepared one of the boys for the long wait in Guam. Socks with sandals aren't exactly fashion, but it beats freezing your toes off. Can't anyone find a reasonable setting for the aircon?
Post your column asap. I'm blowing cheerios out my nose from todays and can't wait to drop my ten cents in the old anon slot.
Okay, Mark, just for you....
Wow, that was a quick exit, didn't even know he was leaving. Ah, the revolving door that is Saipan.....
