1974 Wake for old State Desk
A gathering in the back room of Jack Horner's in 1974
for the wake of the old State Desk which was disbanded.
In front is Pam McCarthy, now a teacher in Stark County.
In the back is Cathy Strong who now lives in New Zealand.
Caught in the middle (from let) are Kathy Goforth, now in
New York City, Kathy Fraze who is still working as BJ
Features Editor, John Olesky, then assistant State Desk
editor retired since 1996, and the late Jan Clark. Pat
Englehart was State Editor. He died Oct 29, 1995 in Ocala,
FL, at the age of 70.
Thanks, John, for posting this picture. I've got it on my classroom computer desktop, where it has generated some VERY interesting comments. Boy, those were the days -- such great memories. And as Cathy Strong pointed out, we were wrinkle-free back then.

I'll get the hang of using this one of these days...that was my comment above.
