Fourteen hours of driving, much of it in gridlock freeway traffic, for four hours of catch-up with people I worked with 45 years ago.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>I don\u2019t like to dwell on the rear-view reality of having reached&nbsp;a golden era. The invitations might as well have said \u201cold-timers.\u201d Yet there is no question that my time in Eugene was golden, in&nbsp;both my personal life and in&nbsp;the profession of journalism.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>I worked as a reporter at the Guard, as we called it,&nbsp;in my late 20s. It was, at the time, considered one of the best small city newspapers in the country. I was working in Duluth, Minnesota, in&nbsp;my second full-time newsroom, stumbling my way through the early-career dance&nbsp;of ambition and insecurity, when the Guard posted an opening. I&nbsp;applied at&nbsp;the urging of a then-boyfriend who had spent time in the Pacific Northwest, a place of majesty I had never visited outside of books. I guess my bylined work showed enough chops to&nbsp;open&nbsp;the door to a newspaper that didn\u2019t often hire outside the state and didn\u2019t often, if ever, hire women as news reporters. I spent three years at the Guard, then moved back to Minnesota to a much bigger newsroom. But the Guard years left an&nbsp;imprint that defines me to this day.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>I was tapped to speak a bit at the reunion. I fretted about that on the long miles from Seattle to Eugene, and pretty much right until the clock told me I had to stand in front of former colleagues and hit the verbal SEND button. I was keenly aware of the bittersweet reality of this reunion \u2014 not just because of the list of people no longer with us, but because of the diminishment of the Guard itself. It is the faintest shadow of its one-time self. Gannett\/Gatehouse has gutted it in ways that leave west-central Oregon lacking the robust journalism that it and every community deserves. That shadow wisped through our reunion conversations, but didn\u2019t dominate: We all know the score, so no use dwelling. I was especially glad to see two or three of the reporters who are now what is left of the Guard news staff and, in my talk, made sure to end with a toast of hope to them.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>The core of my short talk went to the heart of what made my time at the Guard special: It\u2019s where all my professional learning and yearning crystallized into the journalist I wanted to be.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-heading   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A lifelong imprint of values<\/h2>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>The Guard is where I learned that the mission of journalism starts and ends with service to a community. Where that service is not defined by the size of a community or the size of a masthead, but by the relationship between citizens of a democracy and the independence of journalism. Where no story is greater or lesser, and all deserve the best you can deliver. Where the best starts with showing up, is defined by paying attention, and ends with staying as long as the story requires. Where no story really ends, so you go back to sources with better questions until you get the answers the community deserves. Where a beer with colleagues after deadline can be a better education than graduate school.&nbsp; Where colleagues whose personal lives and beliefs are 180-degrees apart from yours can find a mutual center in the value of journalism. Where ego and ambition and insecurities are only useful as drivers to do better journalism. Where industry awards are nice, but the true award is in the response of readers.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>If this all sounds like noble idealism, I\u2019m grateful to say it was. I\u2019m also proud to say any ideals we achieved were because we worked, hard and long, with a foundation not only of purpose \u2014&nbsp;but of joy.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>It\u2019s not that all my&nbsp;joy came from the work. That\u2019s also the time in my life when I first waded into the clear waters of the Pacific, stood under trees so tall they dizzied, camped on a snowy mountain slope, tasted artichoke and avocado and King crab. It\u2019s where I lost a car to the ash of Mount St. Helens, trailed firefighters deep into smoldering forests,&nbsp;learned to breathe deeply enough to run a marathon, and made friends who became family. It\u2019s where I met Mountain Editor.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>I tend to think it\u2019s where I grew up. But apparently I\u2019m not finished with that. A beloved editor from my Guard years, who is now 94, still sends me emails to correct me when I write \u201csince\u201d when I mean \u201cbecause,\u201d and who insists that, in proper English usage, children aren\u2019t \u201craised\u201d but are \u201creared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Try as I might, I can\u2019t wrap my head around \u201creared.\u201d&nbsp;So I\u2019ll just say I was blessed to have been raised up in that golden time in that golden place.
