Doug selling BJ clock tower bricks

Doug Oplinger hawks BJ clock tower bricks

In another benefit for United Way, bricks from the Beacon Journal clock tower -- in varying shapes and sizes, with and without mortar -- went on sale in the newsroom. The bricks are on display, of sorts, underneath reporter Doug Oplinger’s desk (His reward for coming up with the idea) and on top of the file cabinet near Stephanie Warsmith’s desk. Close to $150 already has been collected for United Way.
