There were 14 at Papa Joe's for the BJ retirees' lunch today. Attending were Tom Moore, Cal Deshong, Bill Canterbury, Art Cullison, William Byrd, Gene McClellan, Watson Blanton and wife Rosetta, Ed Hanzel and wife Norma, Al Hunsicker, Bill Hunter, Carl Nelson and John Olesky.
Former chief photographer Bill Hunter brought old photos of newsroom personnel and Guild contracts, to show the paltry pay scales by today's standards.

Hunter also showed a memo he received from the late publisher Ben Maidenburg to thank him for sending him a photo of the staff at a 1980s picnic at the farm of Bud Morris. The photos sparked memories and laughter and maybe a bit of wistfulness.

Back in the day I guess folks dressed like they might actually want to make a good impression when they met with the public. Even the desk people are attired more fashionably than, say, Goodwill chic.
