Robin Sallie’s niece passes away

The niece of photographer Robin Tinay Sallie, who left during the 2006 exodus from the BJ that discarded 264 years of service, passed away Saturday. She was 29.

She is the daughter of Robin’s sister, Meloney Sallie-Dousunmu.

Robin, who lives in Massachusetts, remembers, during her 12 years at Ol’ Blue Walls, that “I did every job in the photo department except director of photography.”

Those who went out the door with Robin in 2006 were columnist Diane Paparone Evans,
Debby Stock Kiefer, Jane Snow, Mike Needs, Kathy Spitz, Sarah Vradenburg, Gloria Irwin, Jocelyn Williams, Mary Ethridge, Dave Hertz, Andale Gross, Kim Profant and Tim Good.
