Mark Price who writes a weekly history piece for the Beacon Journal poses a question about a 1961 episode of the game show What’s My Line? (old episodes air overnight on GSN, the former Game Show Network):
In the episode summarized below, host John Daley mentioned that 100 BJ employees were in the audience. Does anyone remember this episode or anything about BJ people in the audience?
Game 2: Miss Carole Chamberlain - "Does Underwater Act In Nightclubs" (salaried; she works for Bob Maxwell of Miami, Florida, at both the Marlin Beach Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the Evergreen Hotel in Miami, Florida; from Akron, Ohio; host John Daly mentioned that 100 employees from the Akron Beacon Journal newspaper were in the audience)

Price says he is guessing that Carole Chamberlain was ''Divena,'' who performed in water tanks in Akron nightclubs in the 1950s and 1960s. However,he is skeptical that 100 employees from the Beacon Journal were in the New York studio that night. Does anyone know anything about it? Was it one of those trips that the Beacon Journal used to sponsor for readers?

Is it possible this was included in the Thanksgiving weekend theater trips Ralph Iula did for years? The BJ name might have been on the block of tickets reserved and the host just assumed they were employees.
Does anybody remember when the Beacon Journal HAD 100 employees???
Yes.
Can you remember your name?
