Back in 2018, I published a thoughtful essay written by a college sophomore. She was bothered that her Jesuit school - Georgetown University - had basically no reaction to the Tree of Life massacre in Pittsburgh. As a Georgetown alum and shitty Catholic, I agree we could do better. We can always do better. But I digress. This story has nothing to do with anti-Semitism or my imminent future with Satan. It's instead about the author of this reflective piece. Her name is Lizzie Hyman. She went on to graduate from Georgetown (Civilization, Journalism), Columbia School of Journalism (M.S.), became a Fulbright Scholar and is currently employed by People Magazine as an Editorial Assistant.
People just gave her bylines in a Tom Hanks interview about his latest movie as well as a discussion with Buffalo Mayor about Damar Hamlin, the Bills' player who suffered a cardiac arrest during a game against the Bengals.
Amazingly, some young people still are pursuing journalism as a career.
Fortunately, Lizzie's intelligence comes from her mother. Her father took 7 1/2 years to graduate from Georgetown after flunking out at Kutztown. He is the Commissioner of the Lehigh Valley Hearts Ass'n, but that's only because he's the worst player in the history of mankind.

Thanks for sharing this Bernie. It is refreshing to see a member of the younger generation who studies a craft, works hard at it and succeeds. It seems to me that the young people today think that they are owed something and want to start out at the top. I commend Ms. Hyman.
Is this Nat Hyman's daughter?
Yes, and he is rightfully very proud of her.
I met one of Mr. Hyman's daughters at a polling station. I was very impressed by her. She was bright, charming and respectful. Those parents did something right.
She should write for The Morning Call. Lord knows they need good journalists there!
Word
I've met both of his daughters and they are very friendly and outgoing, nothing at all like their father.
wonderful story, Kutztown Univ. is a challenging arena for sure. Not for the common man. He who survives 7 1/2 years must be a hearts shark
