One way that you know you’re not a teenager any more, other than looking in the mirror, is when you go to your high school reunion.

Former BJ graphic designer Susan Miller enjoyed her 45^th anniversary reunion at Canton Lincoln anyway.

As Susan wrote: “Fun night at my 45th reunion. Enjoyed friends, conversation, good food and dancing. Gets no better!”

She still lives in Canton. For two decades, Susan and Harold helped each other find a better life after their divorces.

They’ve been through a lot together.

Harold had a leg amputation because of  lymphoma.  

In 2014 Sue suffered a hairline fracture of her right tibia from her car's non-Olympic luge-style slide into an abutment on an icy Akron freeway. The car was totaled. Sue, fortunately, was not.

Sue was at Ol’ Blue Walls for more than 25 years when she left the Advertising Art Department in 2009.

She’s an attendant at Laundry Express in Canton, not for the money but to talk to people. She describes herself as the Diane Chambers of “Cheers,” chatting away so much that people wonder about her.

She quipped: “They listen to my stories, my boss accepts my crazy humor and I get the chance to touch many lives peripherally.”

Susan was a regular winner in the Ad Art department cover design competitions, was active in Toastmasters at the BJ and loved to get in costume for the annual BJ Halloween candy tour.  

Sue is a graduate of Canton Lincoln High School and Miami of Ohio in Oxford.

Her father was the late Sam Raider.
