Death of Food Editor Gail Perrin
I came across this obituary of Boston Food Editor Gail Perrin.
Here is a segment from the story:
““Gail was keenly aware of what motivated people to cook,” said Sheryl Julian, the Globe’s food editor.
Perrin, Julian added, “managed to find ways to introduce new ingredients in the market, and explain how to cook things people were talking about. She came from the newsroom, so she brought her interviewing skills to a feature section that didn’t have many seasoned reporters writing for it.”
Starting her journalism career when she was 15 and in high school, Ms. Perrin worked for the now-defunct Washington Daily News in Washington, D.C., as what was then called a copy girl. By the time she was 19 and attending Wellesley College, she was promoted and spent her summers as a reporter in 1958 at the Washington Daily News and at the Honolulu Star-Bulletin the following year.
Upon graduating from Wellesley in 1960, she took a full-time job at the Daily News and stayed for nearly five years as a general assignment reporter, acting women’s editor, food editor, and rewrite reporter.”
