Picture-perfect situation

Ron Kuner

Sint Marteen has some of the best picture-takers in the world enjoying its Caribbean sunshine today – retired BJ photographers Don Roese, Tom Marvin and Ron Kuner and their wives.

The better halves are Mary Ann Roese, Kay Marvin and Rose Kuner.

Tom Marvin

Don gets around a lot. He visited 1970s State Desk reporter Cathy Strong in New Zealand where he crossed paths with former BJ State Desk editor John Olesky and reporter Paula Tucker. He’s been to Alaska almost as often as the Intuits.

Don Roese

Saint Martin is an island in the Caribbean about 180 miles east of Puerto Rico. France owns the northern part, Saint Martin, and the Netherlands owns the southern part, Sint Marteen. It is the smallest sea island divided between two nations with inhabitants. The division began in 1648.

There should be some photo album coming out of this trip with all those experts cavorting in the sand, sea and sun.
