Scarsdale Inquirer Alumni at the New York Times:

We ran into Carrie Gilpin, former reporter for the Scarsdale Inquirer who is now working at the Learning Network at the New York Times. She shared this photo of herself with Linda Leavitt, former editor of the Scarsdale Inquirer and Heather Murray, another former Inquirer reporter who is now an attorney working in the same building as Carrie.  Linda came in for a visit and here is what she said:

"I am so proud of these dogged reporters I hired at The Scarsdale Inquirer, Carrie Gilpin and Heather Murray. Carrie went on to become an editor of the Learning Network at The New York Times and Heather is an attorney, at Seyfarth Shaw in the same building, We are posing in front of the Pentagon Papers story on The New York Times Pulitzer Prize wall because there's a Scarsdale connection — attorney William Glendon, who was later to be elected mayor of Scarsdale,successfully defended The Washington Post before the U.S. Supreme Court. The Nixon administration had sought to block publication of a Defense Department history of the American involvement in Vietnam. It was considered a major victory for freedom of the press. This happened before my time at the Inquirer (I retired as editor in 2015) but I knew Glendon and had great affection and respect for him."
