Larnie Green, at age 57 is one of the younger BJ retirees from the composing room. He is now secretary-treasurer of the Akron Typographical Union #182 which means he also keeps the books for the Printers Club and is at the club a couple of days a week. "It is unbelievable what a small club pays out in taxes," he says.
Larnie retired from the Beacon Journal with nearly 30 years of service on September 20, 2001. He and his wife, Stephanie Balabowich, have been married 36 years and have two sons, Andrew. 26. who just received a bachelor's degree in criminal justice this year from Kent State University and Tim, 22, who has been working at Little Tykes for the past five years.
Larnie lived in Wadsworth during the early years of his life, but later moved to Hartville. The brief update on Larnie includes some information lifted from the newsletter of Wadsworth Aerie 2117 of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Larnie joined the lodge at age 22 and is a 35-year member. Publisher of the newsletter is BJ retiree Bob Pell. The newsletter, of course, carries a union logo.
