Helen Thomas Toasts Her Career’s Most Memorable Moments

Posted on January 5, 2011 in Uncategorized

Former White House Press Corps member and Columnist Helen Thomas was a guest of honor at an intimate dinner party in Northwest Washington Tuesday evening.

Surrounded by Ambassadors from Yemen, Jordan, Azerbaijan and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Thomas didn’t hesitate when asked the favorite moment of her career.

“China,” she said proudly, explaining that she was part of a small group of only about 87 members of the press that were allowed in to see the country in 1971.

“It was like seeing everything with new eyes… and everything was news. I asked my editors about [coverage of political events] and, while they wanted those stories, they also wanted to know ‘What does your hotel room look like and what are you eating?’ To have been there during that time was the highlight of my career.”
