Happy Holidays from the Post Advertising Dept.

An English major in college, Grace Hiney first applied to the Post in 1971. When asked if she could write a restaurant review, she replied, ‘I guess so.’ She has been the Post restaurant editor and account executive ever since. An avid home cook and 43-year resident of the Palisades, she has two children and five grandchildren. Long-time Palisades resident Jeff Ridgway has been at the Post for nearly four years and enjoys starting every morning with a cup of espresso. He grew up in Sacramento and attended UC Davis, where he majored in English. His latest obsession is Sudoku on the New York Times Web site. A native of Tennessee, Kendy Veazie lives in the Palisades and has worked for the Post for six years. She volunteers for various charities and enjoys traveling, yoga and independent cinema. Sales executive Kathryn Lancey and her husband, Chris, moved to Pacific Palisades 10 years ago from Orange County, where they started their family; Alycia,18, Cameron, 16, and Victoria, 13. Kathryn finds the same folksy spirit in the Palisades as in her native Long Beach, where her mother (85 years young) still resides in Kathryn’s childhood home. Kathryn’s passion is music, whether rockin’ out to her iPod or singing with the Contemporary Worship Band at Palisades Presbyterian Church. She also enjoys tennis and cooking. After years of consulting in marketing, Kathryn is happy to be a full-time mom working locally.
