Paradise will have to wait

Former BJ chief artist Art Krummel and his wife, former BJ reporter Charlene Nevada, will have to wait at least a year before they can spend more time in the home they purchased this year in Garden City, South Carolina. Charlene is using her writing skills for the Burton D. Morgan Foundation, a philanthrophy that provided grants to such colleges as Kent State, Denison, Wooster,

Art and Char at Hudson's Art on the Green

Purdue and Ashland plus Western Reserve Academy in Hudson and Old Trail School in Bath.

Garden City is near Myrtle Beach and not that far from Pawleys Island, South Carolina, where retired BJ printer Dick Latshaw and his wife Pat and BJ business department retiree Harold McElroy and his wife Linda live a few blocks apart.

Art and Char drove from South Carolina to put up a tent for Art by Art paintings in Hudson’s Art on the Green, which will end Sunday (11 a.m.-5 p.m.) in downtown Hudson. Art and Char will be busy elsewhere Oct. 30, for their son’s wedding in Connecticut.

Another former BJ artist, Dennis Balogh, passed on the Hudson event because he’s busy free-lancing magazine cover illustrations. Dennis’ artwork once dazzled as the covers of Channels magazine, the BJ’s weekly TV guide since 1980, when it was a separate magazine printed in Medina or Glens Falls, New York, and not just spit out at the BJ and jammed into Sunday advertising inserts.

Retired BJ staffer Connie Bloom was busy Saturday, too, displaying her fabric art at Art in the Square in Highland Square on Market Street.

The Morgan Foundation is in Hudson. Burt Morgan made his fortune through, among other things, inventing Band-Aids and cellophane to wrap meat.
