This photo was taken the night the Beacon Journal won the Pulitzer prize in 1994. Only two in the photo are still at the Beacon: Bruce Wnges and Kerry Clawson.
Sitting around the table at Larry’s Bar, starting with Bruce Winges (hand raised) and moving clockwise is Michelle LeCompte, Joette Riley, Steve Berta, Debby Stock Kiefer, Jim Kavanagh, Fred Gerlich (now deceased), Phil Glende, David Hertz, Beth Hertz, Kerry Clawson and Athena Forrest. “It was a fun group of people to work with,” said Betz Hertz who provided the photo “And a special time. I know it's been 14 years, so it's only natural that people have moved on, but it still makes me nostalgic.”
The Beacon journal launched a 10-month long public journalism campaign called "A Question of Color" in late February 1993. Tjhe newspapeer subsequently was awarded the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for public-service journalism, one of four Pulitzers won by the newspaper.
