Bonnie Bolden will leave Friday
Friday wil be the last day at the Beacon Journal for Bonnie Bolden, a veteran BJ editor who has held a variety of supervisory positions at the newspaper. Bolden, who has had 23 years of experience, started working at the Beacon Journal in 1983. She decided to resign to pursue other career options. Her husband, Bruce Winges, was named deputy managing editor on November 1.
Bolden organized and directed the Knight Ridder Midwest Intern Camp at the Beacon Journal in July, 2005 for some 30 intern and entry-level journalists
Another West Virginia graduate leaves the BJ. At one time we formed our own cluster -- Bonnie, Scott Bosley, Tom Melody, West Virginia native Bill Canterbury, former Bluefield WV newspaperman Tom Moore, Bluefield native John S. Knight (he left at the age of 2) and me. All gone, of course. Are there any WVU graduates or West Virginians left at the BJ?
