MITCH & KIM McKENNEY CELEBRATE 28th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

 


Kent State graduate Mitch McKenney, one of many who went from the BJ (after 18 years) to the Kent State University faculty (in 2008), and Kim McKenney celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary Saturday, November 19.

Mitch posted:

28 years later, still smiling. I love you, Kim!”

They spent their 2017 wedding anniversary in Paris, appropriately The City of Love. Paula Tucker and I spent a week in Paris for one of our living-together anniversaries.

Mitch joined the BJ in 1998 as a deputy Metro editor, and later features editor and online editor.

He came to the Beacon after stops at the Palm Beach (Florida) Post and the Rochester (New York) Times-Union.

Mitch is associate professor and student media adviser at Kent State School of Media and Journalism.


Mitch and Kim live in Hartville. Their children are Brynn McKenney, also a Kent State graduate who still lives in Kent; Connor McKenney, a Kent State graduate living in Hartville as is an elementary school teacher, and Suzanne McKenney Newman.

Mitch and I had a pleasant chat at the BJ Newsroom Alumni reunion at Wingfoot Park this year.
