3 is a lonely number
Retired BJ printer Gene McClellan and Newsroom retirees Tom Moore and John Olesky were the only people who braved the Northeast Ohio winter to show up at Papa Joe's Restaurant today for the monthly lunch.
So we talked about the people who weren't there.
The monthly gathering at Akron-Peninsula Road and Portage Trail is for current and former BJ folks -- retirees, those who left for other employment, those who took buyouts, etc. We meet at 1 p.m. on the second Wednesday of every month.
Maybe the weather will be more conducive to a higher turnout in February although I'll be on Siesta Key, off Sarasota, Feb. 7-21. Hopefully someone will show up to keep Gene and Tom company. And you get your photo on the BJ Alums blog.
