Hitting the right note




Sandy Bee Lynn, John Olesky

Sandy Lynn Bee and John Olesky, both retired from the BJ, enjoyed the New Horizons Stark and Summit Counties Band concert Sunday at the Mums Festival in Barberton.

Another former BJ reporter, Paula Stone Tucker, played the flute in the New Horizons Band.

Sandy was in the BJ Reference Library and later worked at the Orrville and Wadsworth public libraries.

She lives in Doylestown with husband Glenn Lynn, who has been known to play the saxophone.

John was Television Editor and Channels' birth father after spending time as Newsroom Electronics Coordinator and State Desk Assistant Editor.

John and Paula share a home in Tallmadge, recently celebrated their 13^th anniversary and spend their winters (6 months for Paula, 4 for John because he attends every WVU football game in Mountaineer Field) in Paula’s home in The Villages, Florida, where 120,000 residents 55 and older make every day a playday for golf, dancing, free live music on town squares, 300 activities every day, 2,200 clubs for everything you can think of and tooling around in a golf cart on more than 500 miles of cart paths that parallel the auto traffic’s roads.

Sandy will perform on the viola with the New Horizons Strings Ensemble at 6 p.m. Monday in the Akron Public Library main branch on Main Street in Akron.

Sandy’s father, Henry Fuller, parachuted into France on D-Day. He was among 126 survivors of the 792 who jumped with the 502^nd on The Longest Day. There’s an exhibit about Henry, a letter carrier in the U.S. Postal Service for more than 30 years, in the MAPS (Military Aircraft Preservation Museum) just off Akron/Canton Airport.
