From Columbia, he received a Pulitzer Traveling Scholarship that formed the basis of travel and freelance reportage from Europe, Asia and Africa in 1954-56. For twenty-seven years, Krogius was employed by NBC as a writer and producer of news. While still with NBC, he began his research into the elusive origins of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Building on that research, he received three grants to study the possibilities for a better relationship between urban highways and pedestrians. The grants funded further international travels. Krogius wrote extensively on these matters for the Brooklyn Heights Press and Cobble Hill News, whose publisher, J. Dozier Hasty, invited him at the end of 1990 to be its editor. He has served in that capacity since then. He is the author of two previous books: New York, You're a Wonderful Town! (Arcade Publishing 2003), and Abroad: Quest and Self-Questioning in a World Gone By (self-published through Blurb, Inc., 2010), a work about his 1954-56 travels. He is married to Elaine Taylor Krogius, a retired arts librarian. They have two sons and two grandchildren.view less
