Happy birthday, Cliff Page
.
Let’s pause a moment this morning to offer the happiest of VizEds birthdays to Cliff Page, the photo director of The Beaver County Times in Pennsylvania. Cliff turns 52 today.
I’ve never met Cliff, but he and I have corresponded frequently in the three-and-a-half years or so that VisualEditors.com has been in existence. Cliff’s been a great pal and a wonderful cheerleader. I sure appreciate the support he’s given me and my extracurricular work at VizEds.
Meanwhile, Cliff runs a small but classy operation up in Beaver County. I have a number of pages from his paper in my slideshows. Cliff and his folks know how to take and edit photos and how to display them well.
A few samples of his work:

Somewhere, boxed up in my garage, are clips of photos Cliff took years ago in the former Soviet Union. Cliff, you really ought to put some of that stuff online.
Cliff shares a birthday with just the sort of folks he’d like to hang around with: Hilary Duff, Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts, Mira Sorvino, Janeane Garofalo and Brigitte Bardot. Today is also the birthday of TV great Ed Sullivan and Li’l Abner creator Al Capp.
Plus, today is Ask a Stupid Question Day. Don’t ask.
Have a great birthday today, Cliffy! Best wishes!

Happy birthday, Clif! You’re one awesome guy. Thanks for all the help that you’ve given me in the past and I hate we weren’t able to meet up this summer!

Happy Birthday, Cliff!
The weather is beautiful here in Central PA - so get outside and celebrate.
From Robb (Currently teaching new media journos in Pennsylvania (Including two from Cliff’s paper!) at PNA headquarters in Harrisburg, PA.

Clif rocks the VizEd socks!
Happy Birthday, Clif, hope you have a great day.
I’ll refrain from asking a stupid question. Though I often ask many, and on days when it’s not a national holiday designated for doing so.

CLIFTON! Happy birthday, friend. You’ll have to hit Sheetz for a sub in your own honor. A toast from down here in Tampa Bay for No. 52.

I thank all of you for remembering this dinosaur.
I spent my “day” at work, but I spent my day off at Border’s buying the latest Shephen Hunter and David Halberstam books. A good read should always be within your reach.
Most of us should be familiar with Halberstam, but Stephen Hunter, one of the film critics for the Washington Post, writes some wonderful novels. Imagine Tom Clancy plots with actual characters and writing to sustain them. Hunter rocks more than I do.
And yes, The Times newsroom sent two people to Robb’s workshop. They found out about my birthday when Robb pulled up Charles blog in the classroom.
In between the software crashing on their Vista laptops, they let me know that I was too old.
MACS RULE!

Clif,
Should have googled “Clif Page Beaver County Times” a lot earlier than 9/4/2008. As you move toward your 53rd birth-day, a little oveer 3 weeks away, I extend to you a quite belated Happy 52nd and an early Happy 53rd.
Hope all is well with you and your family. It seems a long time since our days at the New Castle News (memories you might not revel in but are pretty good in my rapidly neuron-deficient brain).
I still remember that question in the hospital when you visited me in Youngstown, OH (March, 1981). Do you know this guy (you)? My quick response: “Clifton Keith Page … do you think I’m an ignoramus?”
Be good to yourself,
rudy
