The monthly lunch of Beacon Journal retirees will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Papa Joe’s Restaurant on Akron-Peninsula Road at Portage Trail Extension. Since the lunches are on the second Wednesday of the month, the 8th is the earliest date it can fall on.
With the passing of regulars like Gene McClellan and Cal Deshong, the lunch is in danger of moving into a phone booth unless we can entice more BJ folks to show up. Give it a try. It’s mostly laughter and recalling BJ days.
Cal died July 25. Gene died March 19. They were the most faithful attendees for the monthly lunches. The biggest crowd in the past two years, if you count only BJ folks and not their family members, has been seven.
Art Cullison attended often before he moved to Erlanger, Kentucky to be near his son. Art died July 26.
Art and Cal probably will be the main topics of conversation on Wednesday.
