Say "hey" to all and I hope the weather is great. I miss all of the wonderful people at The Inquirer, both past and present. http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/btodt2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cpzh4: Mike and Alexis can't make it, but have fun.http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/bctkt2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Carvajal, _cpzh4: Now working as a reporter at the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times in Paris - a place that Gene Roberts once warned me that I would never reach until I was walking with a cane.http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/c4wx52008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Cohn, _cpzh4: I won't be at the reunion but would love to see any and all Inquirer staffers and alums who make it out to California. My email is garycohn@usc.edu;phone, 310-699-5594http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/bv2y62008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Cohen, _cpzh4: A previous family commitment prevented me from being with you all today, much to my disappointment. But I wanted to send my best to all my Inquirer friends. It was a special time for so many of us, a time that was every bit as good in the living of it as it is now in the remembering of it. The Inquirer gave me a chance to work with a supremely talented and dedicated group of people, as well as giving me a wife and friends I treasure to this day. If I had a Yuengling ale right now, I would toast all of you and especially Gene Roberts, who created an environment where we could all blossom and flourish.http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/bjueu2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Conheim, _cpzh4: Life has been good to me. No website — just a little low-tech art gallery at 23rd and Pine, on Fitler Square. I’ve officially been an ex-journalist for years, but I’m still a news junkie and I write/edit a newsletter for a community organization that runs a homeless shelter and a few other volunteer programs. Anyone who cares can find it by Googling Community OutReach Partnership (CORP) + Philadelphia. What else? I live above the store with my Belgian Tervuren, Rajah (we are an interspecies couple), and I am the proud “auntie” of a 16-year-old Chinese piano prodigy., _chk2m: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/ba0fz2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Engel, _cpzh4: Sorry, but my wife and I will be unable to make it. We will be out of the country. We hope there will be another reunion sometime, and thank you for the invitation. - Mike, Inquirer Sports Copy Desk, _chk2m: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/bbf0c2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Gemperlein, _cpzh4: Having put off child-rearing at a younger age (it seemed a good idea at the time), I am now possibly unable to shed my non-stop and absolutely fascinating swim team duties to get to the reunion. Which will break my heart. But if I don't get there: I'm still freelancing -- lots of different stuff, much directed to me by former Inquirer colleagues (send more!), living outside Washington,D.C., after 1 1/2 years in NYC and, before that, nearly 10 (?) in California. (I miss the produce,low humidity and some good friends (formerly) at the Merc.) Husband Jonathan (Krim) at washingtonpost.com. Still making Jill's mother's brownies and taking credit for the recipe. If I do get to the reunion, will also bring Jocelyn, 12, who would not benefit from hearing humiliating stories from my past. In case you were thinking of some. – Joyce, _cre1l: , _chk2m: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/bmnjo2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Hilferty, _cpzh4: Retired in 1994 to Vermont, where I took a job as a lift attendant at Sugarbush Ski Resort in order to ski for free. I quit the first day that the lift broke down and I was stranded on it in minus-20 degree weather. But the event gave gave birth to a story, which developed into a novel (self-published) called Moonlight in Vermont (sic), dealing with the frozen corpse of a skier who became trapped on a ski lift during an overnight blizzard. (An accident, a suicide, or something else?) The book was named Best Romance by the Indie xcellence Awards of 2007. My wife, Ellie, and I also wrote The Mad River Valley, a photo history, published by Arcadia, in 2004. I am in the rewrite stages of a third book, a novel based on the Jersey connection to the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. I have done a lot of ski writing and for a year was editor of Ski Racing International Magazine and also covered NCAA skiing for the magazine. I still write the monthly Senior Traveler column for the Inquirer, do much traveling and travel writing. (See www.johnhilferty.com ) Six grandchildren, the oldest is eight, all living nearby. I love them, individually. Collectively? That is sometimes difficult. A nearby playground helps, and so does the removal of both of my hearing aids. I miss the good times on Broad Street and South Jersey. I miss the prominence of the print media. Today? Too many second-day stories, too many "yes, but" ledes. I would love to hear from all of you.

I will be on vacation and unable to attend Share my best wishes with all the Inquirer survivors! Life is wonderful AFTER the Inquirer! God bless, Gloriahttp://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/bo2452008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Knoll, _cpzh4: Unfortunately, I'll be out of town on the day of the reunion. Wishing all a wonderful reunion! I left the Inquirer in February '08 for Director of Business Operations position at Temple. However, starting August 11, I'm changing careers again and will be the Executive Director of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Pennsylvania., _cre1l: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/b8lvi2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Loyd, _cpzh4: My high school son has a visiting day at his summer program that weekend, July 11-12-13, and I won’t be able to attend the reunion. When I read the RSVP list, it was like memory lane. I wish I could go, but I’ll be in Erie, Pa. instead., _cre1l: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/cpzh42008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: McCullough, _cpzh4: Bummer. I’ll be in Maine that weekend. I’ll lift a toast to you all!http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/c3ico2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Niepold, _cpzh4: Mary Martin Niepold here. Unfortunately, I will not be there this weekend. Just in from Africa where my trip was extended for almost a month. I so wish I could pull off another trip to see you, but my body wouldn't be with me. Anyway, I hope there will be follow-up somewhere so that I can catch up with everyone. I did see Gene last October when his book brought him to Winston-Salem, and he's as wonderful and funny as he always was. I'm teaching J at Wake Forest University and have started a non-profit to serve African grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren orphaned by AIDS. We have five programs running in Kenya and Tanzania, with a new one to launch in September. Please visit our website: wwww.nyanyaproject.com. Would love your feedback. In the meantime, hello to all of you who also enjoyed the 70s and 80s at the Inquirer (please email and tell me about you) - and best to everyone. Have a wonderful Saturday! niepolmm@wfu.edu http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/bs9tc2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Samsot, _cpzh4: I have been at the Washpost for almost 9 years; taking the retirement 7/31; will head to Sarajevo late August to work with the Center for Investigative Journalism there as an advising editor. Michael still doing well and will accompany me. Not sure how long we'll stay; at least until next summer, maybe a lot more.http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/c0p7u2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Schwabach, _cpzh4: With the greatest regrets I've decided on not going to the reunion in Blue Bell. A huge opportunity missed. Much as I would love to see old friends and colleagues, I hate traveling. On the flip side, you and other colleagues are welcome to stay in our building's guest apartment, which is free for up to three days. Overlooks Lake Michigan and the skyline of downtown Chicago a few miles away. Walk to Northwestern U. and any of 17 bookstores and 23 restaurants within a few blocks. Pass it on. Cheers and Admiration for … doing this reunion picnic and tons of respect arespect for those deserving of same. I think of those wonderful days often.http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/bqv8z2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Swartz, _cpzh4: I am so sorry I can't be there; have reservations to fly to Northern Michigan for a visit with my family during that time. I'd be glad to hear from old Inky cohorts and friends no longer in the Philadelphia area. I moved into the city a little over 10 years ago. My e-mail is njwswartz@msn.com. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time! It was a thrill working in that newsroom over the years, esp. the Pulitzer Years. I hope we can reune (a word?) more often than once every 30 years. I hate to see our newspapers in decline. It seems scary and impossible. Like most of you, a big love of my life, a huge chunk of it, has been newspaper journalism. "Civilians" don't really understand. It's nice to hang out with my newsroom family now and again, even if it's just the occasional chat on the street with those I run into in my wanderings about Philadelphia. By the way, I have six grandchildren now. Amazing. I never believed that would happen, either!http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/cre1l2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cokwr: Wark, _cpzh4: Sorry we won’t be there for the gathering, which conflicts with a family reunion in Virginia that I haven’t missed in 26 years.http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/chk2m2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cpzh4: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/ciyn32008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cpzh4: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/ckd7g2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cpzh4: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/clrrx2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cpzh4: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/cyevm2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cpzh4: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/cztg32008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cpzh4: http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pQ0hqwNuBjDnrUQrhX5e2Yg/od6/public/basic/d180g2008-07-14T01:38:54.694Z_cpzh4:
