Sometimes words alone are not enough to tell a gripping story. The story, of course, is about a "Blue Monday at the BJ" so we are going to let an album of photos by Paul Tople tell you how it was in the newsroom of the Beacon Journal on Monday, March 13, 2006 when Publisher Jim Crxutchfield explained as much as he could the sale of the Knight Ridder empire and the still uncertain fate of the John S. Knight flagship Beacon Journal. The photo above shows the staff listening to him. Click on the headline above to go to the photo album of Tople's photos. Click on photos to enlarge them and use the arrow keys to move around the album.
It's funny that just a short while ago we posted on this blog some photos Paul shot at a BJ Christmas party in 1971. And 35 years later, Paul is stilll telling the story better than our words.

I agree that Paul Tople tells it best, and fancy him doing it for the ABJ for all these years. Kind regards to current staffers, I'm glad I'm not in your shoes at the moment. From Cathy Strong
