May 29 Celebration of Life memorial for Mickey Porter
Mickey Porter’s sons Mike and Ben will hold a memorial to celebrate
his life at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 29 at the home of former BJ features writer Bill
O’Connor, 1108 Rambling Way in Bath Township.
It is open to “all Beacon Journal folks, past and present, and
their spouses, partners, significant others, boy toys and trophies,” O’Connor
tells me.
Bill added:
“We'll have a few drinks and enjoy the wonderful legacy we have from that magical time that is too-fast fading. No one enjoyed our newsroom and the people in it more than Mickey Porter.”
Sorry to disagree, Bill, but I think I’m neck-and-neck with Mickey on that one. I would RUN to work because it was so exciting and enjoyable. The camaraderie was astounding!
Mickey, one of the best columnists in BJ history, passed away Friday,
March 18.
He spent 40 years at Ol’ Blue Walls at 44 E. Exchange Street.
