Faithful four showed up today at the monthly BJ retirees lunch at Papa Joe's Restaurant on Akron/Peninsula Road at Portage Trail Extension. They are retired printers Gene McClelland, Al Hunsicker and Carl Nelson and newsroom retiree John Olesky.
Al talked about his granddaughter -- daughter of Al's daughter Pam and her husband Don Coy -- getting an engagement ring.
Gene and Carl found out that they both worked for the AC&Y Railroad when they weren't at the BJ. Gene sold two of his vehicles that he likes to tinker with but still has four -- auto, motorcyle and truck.
John was back for the first time in three months because his travels coincided previously with the 1 p.m. second Wednesday of the month date for the BJ retirees lunches.
Since retired printer Calvin Deshong didn't show up, as he usually does, and the quartet was concerned, they called Cal. Not to worry, Cal assured them. Cal's joints became a problem, the Prednizone has helped, but not enough yet to make the monthly lunch. Cal will be 93 on Nov. 24.
The four who showed equalled the smallest attendance since no one showed up in January -- the quartet who dined in May.
If you work or worked at the BJ, you're welcome to attend the monthly lunch at 1 p.m. second Wednesday of the month at Papa Joe's on Akron/Peninsula Road at Portage Trail Extension.
