  • Wanting, Not Waiting
    WINNERSdateline OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS 2011 Wanting, Not Waiting 2012 Another Year of Uprisings SPECIAL EDITION dateline 2012 1 letter from the president ne year ago, at our last OPC Awards gala, paying tribute to two of our most courageous fallen heroes, I hardly imagined that I would be standing in the same position again with the identical burden. While last year, we faced the sad task of recognizing the lives and careers of two Oincomparable photographers, Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, this year our attention turns to two writers — The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times of London. While our focus then was on the horrors of Gadhafi’s Libya, it is now the Syria of Bashar al- Assad. All four of these giants of our profession gave their lives in the service of an ideal and a mission that we consider so vital to our way of life — a full, complete and objective understanding of a world that is so all too often contemptuous or ignorant of these values. Theirs are the same talents and accomplishments to which we pay tribute in each of our awards tonight — and that the Overseas Press Club represents every day throughout the year. For our mission, like theirs, does not stop as we file from this room. The OPC has moved resolutely into the digital age but our winners and their skills remain grounded in the most fundamental tenets expressed through words and pictures — unwavering objectivity, unceasing curiosity, vivid story- telling, thought-provoking commentary.

  • “Quiet Hero: Secrets from My Father's Past”
    0610mil-cosby.la 5/18/10 3:32 PM Page 56 United States Military Section A quiet and enigmatic man, Rita Cosby knew little about her father’s past: just that he had left Poland after World War II and had always refused to answer questions about it. When Rita was still a teenager her father suddenly divorced her mother and left the family, which caused a divide in their relationship that would continue most of Rita’s life. But years later, after her mother’s death, Rita discov- ered a worn suitcase tucked away full of momentos, including a worn Polish Resistance armband, rusted tags bearing a prisoner number, and an identity card for a POW named Ryszard Kossobudski. These artifacts and her journalistic instinct would be the tools for Rita to open a new dialogue with her distant father, and ulti- mately to forge a new, stronger relation- ship between them. After years of estrangement, Rita has finally persuaded her father to tell his story (in her new book, Quiet Hero: Secrets From My Father’s Past). With each new day came revelations about her father’s past in the Polish Resistance and an understanding of why Richard had always kept his emotions and true feelings hid- den. The hard exterior he showed to his family was honed during those difficult years fighting for his life and country during the war. As Richard shares details of his secret past with his daughter, Rita finally comes to understand the man that has mystified her for so long… and Richard discovers the daughter he never really “Quiet Hero” knew.
