The End of an Institution at The Daily News 

   Layoffs at the Daily News has ended the 43 year career of veteran reporter Bob Kappstatter. Kappy as most have called him, was only one of many people at the Daily News to be laid off in what is being called a downsizing at the paper. 

   When we started our column 100PERCENT in the Bronx News several years ago we tried to pattern it to be much like the column that Bob Kappststter was writing. When we would meet at different events we would kid each other about our columns, and it just is not going to be the same without Kappy around anymore. 

   When we went to the Daily News website to see Kappy's column Thursday we saw a message web page vanishes. To find out more about the layoffs at the Daily News you can go here.

   UPDATE:
