I was wondering why the Times referred to "Mike Penner," but towards the end it says he resumed using that byline in 2008.  It also says:

"Penner is survived by his brother, John, a copy editor at The Times, and his former wife, Times staff writer Lisa Dillman."

I know of several people at the major paper in this city who are -- or have been -- married to each other.  I wonder how incidence of coworker marriages/dating compares in the news industry versus other industries.
