Rube Faloon's retirement story

This is a retirement story for Rube Faloon whose obituary appears just below this post. The story was published on page 10 of the April/May 1978 issue of Tower Topics with the accompanying photo and a headline which read simply, “Faloon retires.”

His license plate reads "Mr. B.J."

His desk belonged to the late C. L. Knight.

His infectious grin and bubbly optimism even brought smiles to the faces of surly copy editors.

"He," of course, is Rube Faloon, and he no longer is with us, having resigned as Research and Sales Development manager to pursue his own whims.

Rube came to the Beacon on September 5, 1967, from the Houston Post where he was Manager of Promotion and Public Service. He is looking at employment opportunities in the area and also a position that will take him to the South during the winter .months, thus enabling him to renew his avocation as a distance runner.

Director of Marketing Earl Brown said, "He has contributed much energy to our efforts over the years. I know you join me in wishing him well in making a contact. "

"I'll really miss the people here," said Rube. "They've all been great. But we can keep on having fun together. That's my specialty in life.
