Former BJ reporter John Dunphy and Rebecca Allen Dunphy celebrated their 10^th wedding anniversary on Friday, October 13 in California, where they live in Lakewood.

John is among Cincinnatians Harry and Angela Dunphy’s nine children.

Cincinnati Xavier University grad John at Ol’ Blue Walls, with the late Pat Englehart cracking the whip, was a key reporter in the BJ’s coverage of the four 1970 Kent State dead and nine injured by Ohio National Guard bullets that brought the newspaper a Pulitzer Prize and spawned Neil Young's "Ohio" with the words "four dead in Ohio" as sung by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

America was killing its children and decided it was time to end the Vietnam War.

After moving to California, John became a reporter for the Orange County Register and contributing editor for Southland Golf magazine. John also worked for newspapers in Kansas City, Detroit and Seattle.

He’s retired and busy battling health problems. So is Rebecca, who also was at the Orange County Register.
