News Editor Bill Catlin is retiring after 38 years with MPR News. Before becoming an editor, he was a reporter, producer and audio engineer. Bill was known for his institutional knowledge, his commitment to the facts and his unshakable civility. He also played lead guitar in a band called The Ernies, which was composed mostly of guys from the MPR newsroom. Their song, “Househusband’s Rock,” was a crowd favorite.
