Professional Achievement

12/22/20 Cindy (Kuhn, 73) and I have spent the past 15 years mostly outside the country (Mexico, China, England, and now Spain) where I have been doing teaching and consulting related to journalism, the economics of media, and digital media. Cindy retired after a career as a computer programmer and, later, CPA. She now spends a lot of time on planning trips, doing puzzles, reading fiction, and spoiling our grandchildren with clothing, books and toys. We have three kids: Bridget, in Germany, Christine, in NYC, and Patrick, in Pittsburgh, and three grandkids all under 3 years of age. My most memorable moment at Wooster was meeting Cindy at a freshman smoker at Holden Hall. We celebrated our 50th anniversary in September by visiting, on Zoom, with our kids and grandkids. We’ve been in Spain for the past six years, with two-month summer visits back to the US. I write about our trips on a personal blog, Breiner on the road (http://jgerardbreiner.blogspot.com/). Cindy has various projects that involve spreadsheets and organizing data. During one of our sojourns in Mexico, she digitized and organized in chronological order some 10,000 of our family photos from ancient film technology. Now there are even more photos, all digital, and videos to organize and categorize. I find it hard to pick out one favorite course or favorite professor because I had so many great experiences (I majored in English, lots of French literature as well). Certainly IS, but I loved acting in the plays and working on The Voice and the radio station. Cindy’s favorite course was either ancient Greek or one of her computer programming IT courses. “Zeros and ones; it all starts with zeroes and ones”. Our best wishes and love to you all, Jim and Cindy
