This book describes the birth and death of the Mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe hear from two children of the rival newsroom executives, Paul Houck and Jerry Weinstein, who describe their fathers' ambitions and personal dreams. Tom Berner tells the story of the Mirror's very first issue in 1968, which did not get off the press until the wee hours of the morning. Reporter Robert Emmers describes working for the CDT and the Mirror, noting the differences between the two newsrooms and their approach to stories. Chris Koll, a Penn State wrestler, writes about moonlighting as a part-time sportswriter for the Mirror. CDT sports columnist Ron Bracken details the personal side of his career and competing against the Mirror, which put an emphasis on sports coverage during its brief existence. Throughout the book there is a common theme that portrays a love of newspapers and the exciting things that can happen inside a newsroom. We can almost hear the typewriters clacking away, and the teletype machines chirping with bells as important news comes across the wire. All of the reporters and editors look back with fondness on this part of their lives when they were young and chasing stories across Centre County and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe Had Ink In Our Blood\u003c\/strong\u003e is a sentimental story of a time when newspapers, even in small towns, were the main source of news, long before the Internet came along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTERY NAU\u003c\/strong\u003e Terry Nau graduated from Penn State in 1972 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism.

For the purpose of this book, one aspect of school pride is reserved for alumni who served in the military over the past seventy-five years. The school's alumni have fought in wars ranging from WW I to Afghanistan, marching forward into the never-ending battles of our complicated modern world.\u003cbr\u003ePennsbury's community has always taken pride in its veterans. This book tells us about a few of them, in their own words. The book also informs us that Fallsington High (Pennsbury's predecessor) had several World War I veterans, led by Carol Christman, Class of 1897.\u003cbr\u003eThree career veterans-Staff Sgt. Wayne Rogers (Class of 1997), SFC Jim Tams (1977) and Lt. Colonel Jacqueline Siciliano (1983)-lead off Pennsbury Pride with personal histories of their military service in Operation Enduring Freedom.\u003cbr\u003eThe middle section of our book features stories about grandparents, parents, and uncles who joined up for World War II and Vietnam. Kevin Lendo (1966) writes about how he and his brother Art (1964) became involved in a chase for information on their uncle John Lendo, who perished in December 1944 when his plane was shot down during a bombing run over the Pacific Ocean. By some miracle, the Lendo brothers found the plane their uncle trained on stateside. The Lendos have endowed a Fellowship Program at Pennsbury in honor of their family's military veterans.\u003cbr\u003eThe book ends with three chapters that reinforce the connection between Pennsbury's veterans and the school itself. One chapter speaks to the Operation Christmas gift drive for Lt. Joseph Yatsko's troops in Vietnam. Another details the creation of the Wall of Honor in 2001 and the scholarship fund started by Pennsbury veterans to reward students in the school's Junior ROTC program.\u003cbr\u003eOur book closes with a list of 579 veterans who at one time patrolled the halls of Pennsbury High. - TERRY NAU","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53187625419025,"sku":"NIN9781960505644","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781960505644.jpg?v=1772393635"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-terry-nau.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
