A couple of Wednesdays ago I was at a conference in Hackensack, N.J. A veteran newspaperman came up and peered at my nametag, and said, "I can't believe you're from Phoenixville!" It turned out that Malcolm Borg was one of the many men to pass through Phoenixville via the Valley Forge General Hospital, decades ago.

We didn't have time for a long discussion, so I didn't get to ask him about his experiences there. However, I did find out that when he started out at The Record in Hackensack after his service, the paper was just one building, and now he is the Chairman of the North Jersey Media Group, which includes numerous other newspapers along with The Record, and employs thousands of people.

So, we'll count that as another success story for someone who came through Phoenixville. Obviously, his time here made a strong impression on him.

Sincerely,
