These two photos are from Pam McCarthy, a former Beacon Journal reporter who now teaches journalism and newspaper production at Hoover High School in North Canton. The top photo was published in the Beacon Journal Community Extra section on page F14 on Sunday, March 13, 2005 with the headline “"Giving Us the Eye." ” Pam photographed her daughter, Kate Pakenham, with the school newspaper'’s Nikon D-70 digital camera.

Pam also sent the bottom photo of twins Michael and Kate Pakenham, 16, on either side of her oldest daughter, Bethany Marvin, 26. (Those of you who worked with Tom Marvin will note the resemblance, Pam points out.) Beth is a second-year law student at UCLA. The twins are sophomores at Hoover High School in North Canton. Their father is Ken Pakenham, a professor at the University of Akron. Pam is two years away from retirement. She did not send us a self-portrait but you can find her in the February posts, one on Feb 9 is at a wake for the old State Desk and the other is Feb 12 at a picnic at the Bud Morris home in Copley.
