What do old retirees talk about at lunch? Well, if it is Beacon Journal retirees it is about the news, of course.
Top item was Tony Ridder and the KRI takeover or buyout talk. Could the guy who has engineered so many buyouts be forced into a buyout himself? When a new profit-driven guy takes over will we feel sorry for Tony who could well look like a spendthrift. Getting serious: If GM auto workers who have the best benefits are worried, should we be concerned.
“I would be done for without my prescription coverage,:” said one. “Yeah, what about your entire pension?” asks another.
Weather is always a good subject.. What about the adventures of Linda and Tom Gaffney in Cancun? Could we who are lost without electricity for one day survive it if lasted three or more days?
“Well, the annual leaf pickup was good?”
“ No. It was bad.”
And how do you think Cynthia George looked in the BJ photo taken during the jury choosing? Pretty good for a mother of seven and two or three lovers? “Yeah, but would you want to date her?”
There was little talk of election results. Democrats kept their grip on Akron and Mayor Don Robart of Cuyahoga Falls will be starting his 21st year in office in January.
And that’s the way it was when 11 retirees and a wife met for the monthly lunch on Wednesday at Papa Joe’s.
