Retirements in 1989


Here’s a page from the Jan/Feb 1989 Sidebar to show the importance given to retirements in previous years. Two retirements were featured on the page.

Administrative secretary Helen Coy was honored on her early retirement with a reception in the JSK room. One photo shows Mickey Dimeff and Harold McElroy signing her card and another shows her getting a greeting from retiree Marge Lane. The photo pulled out of the page (at right) shows newsroom staffer Charlene Nevada sharing a laugh with Helen.

Featured on the same page was Donna Klever who hung up the telemarketing phone after 14 year of service and was honored at a luncheon Dec 30. She is shown unwrapping a new electric typewriter. It was wrapped in classified adverising newspaper print. I wonder if she still has that typewriter. Mine sits mostly idle, but is still working in case of a real emergency.
