LCCN Editor Jerry Bernstein
By Brian Hews
Beloved Los Cerritos Community Newspaper Editor Jerry Bernstein has been admitted to an area hospital with a case of double pneumonia.
Bernstein, who will be celebrating his 83rd birthday in 2013, was taken to Los Alamitos Hospital on Christmas Day after coming down with flu like symptoms.
Bernstein is expected to remain in the hospital until after New Year’s Day. Hews Media Group President Brian Hews spoke to Jerry on Thursday via the telephone, and said that the veteran news man was in “good spirits, and even cracking a few jokes.”
“We all love Jerry, and we look forward to his full recovery,” Hews said.
Well wishes and cards can be sent to Jerry via Los Cerritos Community Newspaper to 13047 East Artesia Boulevard, Suite, C-102, Cerritos, CA 90703.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you for your speedy recovery. We need you back to keep Brian and Randy in line. 🙂
Jerry, I always found a little bit of sentiment goes a long way in helping people get through illness. So, I’ll let you in on a secret – I tell everyone that you were my mentor after graduating college (which you were when I was an intern reporter), so I have plenty of respect and admiration for you and your professional expertise. Hope you’re already out of the hospital!
Oh, and what is “double pneumonia”?!? Isn’t it just “pneumonia”?
Does ‘double’ mean water in both lungs?
God Bless you Jerry! I pray for your full recovery!
