Daily News | An extra special Fourth | Scene Through the Lens
My dad was born on the Fourth of July, so we celebrated both events on the day every year.
Over the years I have made up for that oversight — many times over. Anytime I am between assignments in the vicinity, I always stop by to look up at Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, even if it’s only through the window. And now that the newspaper’s offices have moved, too, I can see the bell’s pavilion and Independence Hall right from our sixth-floor newsroom.had reporters based in bureaus around the country, the world, and in offices in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey suburbs, and Northeast Philadelphia.
I was fascinated to learn of Philadelphia’s connections to Lewis and Clark’s expedition. In addition to those sample cuttings, 200 other plant specimens collected in the field ended up here, as well as their extensive and amazing journals. And on a cold February night, I listened in the dark, without my cameras, inside a Mandan earth lodge in North Dakota as Hidatsa Indian storyteller Keith Bear played taps on his flute.
