Only five showed up for the monthly gathering of BJ retirees at Papa Joe's, which is held the second Wednesday of the month at 1 p.m.
Attending were retired printers Armand Lear, Al Hunsicker, Gene McClellan and Cal Deshong and newsroom retiree John Olesky.
Absentees included Bob Pell, out with gall bladder surgery, and Ed Hanzel, out with back surgery. Ed and Norma, regulars at the Papa Joe's gatherings, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary Sept. 13. Al and Lillian Hunsicker observed their 50th wedding anniversary May 27.
Tom Moore is in Florida with Tom Giffen's baseball program for older players from around the country. Tom M. is the guy who spent 10 1/2 hours in the emergency room in Florida waiting till no one had a more serious problem than him.
In case any newer BJ retirees want to join the group, just show up at 1 p.m. the second Wednesday of the month, which would be Dec. 12 next month.

For those who are not familiar with Papa Joe's restaurant, it's on Akron-Peninsula Road at Portage Trail in the Valley. Sorry I wasn't more specific about its location. Also, we laugh a lot at these get-togethers. Real lots.
