Brain tumor for Dale Allen

Former BJ Editor Dale Allen has a brain tumor.

“It’s in the left side of my brain, which supports speech and words and possible some right-side motion,” Dale reports.

He’s surveying his options, which include chemo, radiation or surgery.

He is scheduled for a consultation with Cleveland’s University Hospital surgeon.

Dale has a hip replacement in 2016 after falling during a Black Friday horror shopping event.

Since he left 44 E. Exchange Street Dale has divided his time, depending on the weather, between his Akron and Muzzy Lake in Portage County homes.

Dale, vowel-avoiding Features Editor Jim Nolan and I were the midwives for Channels’ birth in 1980. It was a Management By Objective (MBO) project for Dale.

A few years later, Dale had me slow down the BJ computers while Knight-Ridder representatives were in the building to determine if Ol’ Blue Walls needed more mainframe power. I did.

KR folks went back to Miami and the BJ got its upgrade to superpower mainframe.
