John, contributing editor at Southland Golf and a former
reporter for the Orange County Register in California, had Cincinnati Skyline
Chili for his birthday, courtesy of his wife, Orange County Register
deputy Features editor Rebecca Allen, in their Lakewood, California home. And
white cake with chocolate frosting, his favorite.
Rebecca’s latest report on John’s health status via Facebook: “No little free radical cancer cells running around .... Yahoo! Dunphy had an endoscopy today to stretch the opening of what he calls his ‘pie hole.’ All went well. He will see the oncologist to review the latest PET scan, which the surgeon said showed no sign of any new cancer.”
Writes John: “I am so lucky to have Rebecca in my life. She works so hard every day and can come home and whip up a dinner worthy of Gourmet Magazine.”
John was part of the late Pat Englehart’s
crack team that brought the BJ a Pulitzer for its coverage of the 1970 Ohio National Guard shooting that killed four and wounded
nine Kent State students. “I spent more than 7 years full-time covering
all the investigations and trials,” John wrote.
