A joint virtual memorial service will be held on Sept. 29 for two longtime members of New York City’s publishing scene, Lorna Koski and Kathleen Berger.
Berger died on Jan. 11 at the age of 77 from complications from a lung transplant and COVID-19, according to her brother. Due to that medical battle, Berger had stepped back from publishing a few years ago. She was a longtime editor at Newsweek, Time/Life books and Inc.. Her brother also works in publishing as the author of “A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas” and other books.
She and Koski got along famously, because they each had a great sense of humor, quirky personalities, and they were real New Yorkers through and through. They also loved Greenwich Village and Fire Island, and shared some of the same passions and interests. With some of Koski’s family members based on the West Coast, Berger said organizing an on-site gathering would have been challenging for a complete turnout. The hourlong Zoom memorial will get underway at 8 p.m. with an opening eulogy from Warren Berger, who will speak about Koski and his sister. The event will be open for others to speak as well.
Berger said that he and Koski had planned to hold a tribute for his sister. After Koski’s passing, he decided to do a joint memorial instead. Next week’s event may feature some opera music, since the married couple enjoyed the opera. In advance of the virtual memorial, Berger asked that anyone who is interested in sharing a memory or recollection of Berger or Koski, connect with him beforehand for scheduling purposes.

How to Work and Travel at the Same TimeIf you’re finding it tough to work remotely while on the road, your best bet is to put some practices into place to keep yourself organized and your performance level on track. Define what you want to get out of your travels — and out of your job. What would be my ideal day-to-day work life? How does it feel, and what does it look like? The more well-thought-out your own goals are, the less friction you’re likely to encounter when structuring your days. Create a structure that supports the lifestyle you want. The simplest way to avoid burdening yourself or your colleagues is to construct a detailed plan. Know where you’ll be and what you’ll be doing the whole time you’re traveling. How much time do you need between transitioning workspaces? How far apart are these locations? Will there be a place to charge your laptop and headphones? Overcommunicate with your manager and colleagues. Be respectful and honest. Communicate your availability and average response times well in advance and in multiple media channels (via Slack, one-on-one texts, live meetings, etc.) Hold yourself accountable for meeting expectations. Keep yourself focused by traveling with all the accountability tools you need. These can include business operating system tools and project management solutions, as well as reliable devices. Make sure you’re able to update everything regularly and track your progress. Travel with people who understand remote working. Explain your commitments to your traveling pals. For instance, you may want to establish times of the day when you need to hop onto Zoom calls or be available for business.
