Chisenhall to return to Charlotte Observer

Sherry Chisenhall, executive editor of The Wichita Eagle, is leaving after June 3 to go back to North Carolina - to work for the man who hired her to come to Wichita in the first place.

In 16 total years in Wichita, she said, she has made many friends and put down deep roots. But in a way, she's going back home.

Chisenhall, 52, will become managing editor of the Charlotte Observer, where she worked for 14 years before coming to Wichita.

Rick Thames, the editor of The Eagle until 2004, had hired her from Charlotte to come here as managing editor in 2000.

As editor of the Observer now, he's bringing her back to Charlotte - the second time he's hired her as his managing editor.
