About Edward
Edward Guthmann was a staff writer and film critic at the San Francisco Chronicle from 1984 to 2009. In June 2002 he won national recognition for his film criticism with a citation from The American Society of Feature and Sunday Editors.
His work has won accolades from the California Newspaper Publishers Assn., the San Francisco Cable Car Awards and the San Francisco Roman Catholic Archdiocese.
He is also the writer, director and producer of the documentary “Return to Cameroun.” He currently writes the “What I Do” column that appears each Monday in the San Francisco Chronicle (www.sfgate.com).
Hi Edward, gosh you’ve aged well. So handsome as usual. I just retired (for the third time) from my job as PMP (project manager). I’m unpacking now in an efficiency apartment in Wilmington, NC where I am going to stay for a month or two while I finish a book I’m writing. Yes, I write. But not like you. I write computer industry ‘how to’ books (although there IS a novel in me, somewhere, which has yet to insist on birth).
Do you have a facebook account? Apparently I do though I never go there, but my recently discovered half-sister is always etalking about it. Maybe I’ll update it now that I’m ‘retired’.
Well it is ‘day one’ here so off for that first walk on the beach (beautiful weather outside today) then off for a swim at the YMCA and then back here to finish unpacking and to edit my book.
Love to you and yours,

I agree with Violet… you look wonderful. So does the website and I look forward to perusing it and sharing it with friends.
Love always,

I couldn’t resist saying hello; I am the daughter of one of your high school teachers, Ed Rougier, and have followed your career as critic in the SF Chronicle for years. Ed was so happy for your success, and proud of you, of course! I’ve enjoyed your writing too and look forward to learning more about your work here. Wishing you all love and blessings…
Hi Edward,
It has been four years, but I remember you with great appreciation and admiration!
How you wrote an comprehensive and sensitive essay on ” Miss Tilly” after only two visits,I’ll never know.
I still have people say, “I read the fantastic piece in the Chronicle!” Thank you for your dedication and
great skill. It was fun , too!
I would like to talk to you, if possible, to help me contact the person in charge of the Sunday Chronicle
Calendar as I will be honored by Michela Alioto-Pier in the Board of Supervisors Meeting on
Tuesday , November 16 at 3:30 and would hope to be added to this Sunday’s Calendar.
Thank you, Edward
Tilly
Dear Edward,
Oh how I miss you … finally googled you (duh) as emails have been coming back. Hope you had a lovely holiday season — I planned to send a card, but now it’s late, what’s new? I’ll check out your column,
glad you’re still writing. Check me out on Facebook, OK, since I’ve uploaded some of my articles etc.
but never have managed to finish my profile. So anyway, let’s get in touch. Who knows? I could come to San Francisco or you may have an occasion to come to Placerville. Cute dog. Awesome, handsome journalist. Do well, my friend. Love, Susana
Edward:
I am interested and you gave me pause to think (and rethink) about what I do too.
I would love to have lunch and also our center is having a fundraiser on March 30, 2011 at Yank Sing at the Rincon Annex. You can see a part of the “work” if you’d like to attend let me know.
Hope to see you soon perhaps at the Club
