Sue Murphy flees Irene and visits Elizabeth Patton

BJ Alums got this email from Elizabeth Patton, BJ Sidebar Magazine editor till she left in 1993 to become Executive Director of Project:LEARN, an adult literacy program in Medina, before moving to Blairsville, Georgia in 1996.


My good friend and former BJ employee, Advertising Dept’s Sue Murphy, fled from her home in Hilton Head, South Carolina. She didn’t want to take any chances that Hurricane Irene might hit the SC coast and went to visit her daughter Kelly who lives in Fayetteville, Georgia, just south of Atlanta. Kelly and Sue came up to the mountains to visit for the weekend, leaving the hubbies at home so we could have a girl’s weekend.

We visited various antique stores, had great meals, drinks and good times. They were amazed at the

temperature change in the mountains. We are typically 10-15 degrees lower than Atlanta. It was a beautiful weekend, temps in low 80’s with overnight lows of 57-59. On Sunday morning I found them both on my screened porch wrapped in blankets drinking tea and enjoying the neighborhood rooster.

It was a good time.

I also took them to our golf course which elicited a vow to come back and play some golf.

Thanks,

Elizabeth
