MY FRIEND HELEN GYM WAS NAMED PHILLY INQUIRER’S PERSON OF THE YEAR

I wrote a little about Helen and her husband earlier in the week, but I wasn’t allowed to tell you about this honor she was to receive. This is what I had to say about her: I first met Helen back when she championed the effort to keep the stadiums out of Chinatown, an issue my life partner was also concerned with. Another cause Helen near to her heart is education. Recently on Frontline she was quoted as saying, “Education is not a business. At some point, quality of education and the concept of profit will conflict and that quality of public education will suffer.”
Congratulations Helen!! http://www.philly.com/inquirer/opinion/20071223_Editorial___Helen_Gym.html
