| Bill Schlemmer, Dave Cooper and Paul Poorman pay homage to JSK's typewriter |
These photos were taken when the John S. Knight room was completed in the 1980s at the Akron Beacon Journal. The JSK Room honors the late editor and publisher of Knight Newspapers.
The top photo shows Bill Schlemmer, Dave Cooper and Paul Poorman paying homage to Knight’s typewriter in the showcase.
Schlemmer, now deceased, was city editor, managing editor and finally assistant to the general manager Cooper is retired associate editor of the Beacon Journal. Poorman was editor of the Beacon Journal.
Boerner was emptying some old boxes recently and came across these photos. He gave them to fellow retiree Tom Moore who published them on his blog and sent copies along to BJ Alums.

These are funny. I see the reflection of the photographer but don't know who it was, Maybe Dave can remember?

Guessing by the build, maybe Paul Tople?

ReplyDeleteThe room looks exactly the same. It should be a showcase for the community, current employees, and potential employees. Instead the room is kind of a sad comment on the state of affairs in American journalism.
