It looks like it's time to blow “taps” on our monthly Beacon Journal retiree luncheons.
I got there at 1 pm. for July's meeting and was told one other fellow had showed but left.
So it looks like we're down to one..or at the most two.

And two, three or at the most four have showed up this year.

It's been fun, meeting with the “family” you worked with for so many years in the glory days of the newspaper.

When the luncheon's started we had anywhere from 40 to 50 show up.
But most are gone now and the younger crowd doesn't seem to be interested.
As somebody asked me one time: “Wonder were everybody is”?
I answered: “At Greenlawn.”

And the guy came back with: “Where's that restaurant?”

But the date is still open for anybody that wants to show up. Maybe there'll be some folks there: the second Wednesday of each month, 1 pm. At Papa Joes in Merriman Valley.
