End of the Sojourn

In the latest edition of The Item (on newsstands today) we wrap up the coverage of the Tenth Schuylkill River Sojourn. One of our newest correspondents, Sarah Morawczynski, spoke with all the local folks who participated in at least a portion of the trip.

One man, Ed McLaughlin of Schuylkill Haven, spent the entire week on the river. I thought the story turned out great and was a fantastic way for us to cap off our coverage which unbelievably started three weeks ago. I just wish there were a clock in town so I could see the time going by so quickly.

By the way, I found the clock and pool. Thanks to Peggy in our office, here, for the map.


Unfortunately, because of the constraints caused by our Monday deadline, the photos which Steve Billman (one of the sojourners) took and shared with the newspaper didn't make it to press, but luckily we have other media these days. One is posted above.

They are all included in this slide show I put together this morning. Try and count the amount of wipes I used through this presentation ...

Thanks so much to Steve, all the people at Schuylkill Headwaters Association (namely Laura Catalano for dealing with my obsessive emails), Heather Tassmer, Lisa Price and Sarah Morawczynski for their great work in making the coverage as good as it could be.
