Ken Rosenbaum is a blogger now

Ken Rosenbaum, who has retired after 24 years at the Toledo Blade, fondly remembers his brief time at the Beacon Journal in 1968.

After leaving the Beacon, Ken notes that he closed two newspapers–the Cleveland Press and St. Louis Globe Democrat. “Of course, the fine folks in Toledo were understandably nervous when I arrived,” he writes.

Ken says he remembers those at the BJ as “a great bunch” and is glad he was was not in Akron to witness the sale of Knight-Ridder.

After 45 years as a journalist in Columbus, Medina, Akron, Cleveland, St. Louis and Toledo (for the past 24 years), Ken has retired–but not really. He is still writing one of three Toledo Blade blogs.

Here’s how the blog intro describes it:

Ken Rosenbaum is having a senior moment. In fact, all his moments now are officially senior ones.. Contrary to popular belief, having a senior moment can be a good thing. He'll introduce you to some Toledo seniors and what's on their minds. He'll share thoughts on diet, exercise, health, music, travel and fun for seniors. He'll visit northwest Ohio senior centers, checking out their facilities, services and friendliness. This won't be an old folks diary, rather a breezy journey through what Ken expects to be the best time of life. Join him for the ride.

Viewers of this blog, can join in the ride, by going to toledoblade.com. Just click on Blade Blogs on the left side of the screen. One of the three smiling faces looks just like the one on this post. That’s Ken:
