Accidental reunion in South Carolina



BJ Alums blog got this email from BJ newsroom retiree Charlene Nevada:

Last week, Art and I were vacationing in the Garden City Beach area with newsroom administrative assistant Sue Reynolds and her husband Roger and the Mezgers – Roger and Ann Sheldon Mezger.

One night we went to a hamburger place in Murrell’s Inlet called River City and, lo and behold, us current and former BJers ran into Dick Latshaw who had come a bit north for his burger. Small world!

Art is Char's husband, Art Krummel, former BJ art department chief. Both are retired from the BJ, Char in 2005.

Dick is a retired printer who lives on Pawleys Island, South Carolina, not that far from Murrell's Inlet. He lives two blocks from another BJ retiree, Harold McElroy and wife Linda. Retired printer Sid Sprague, who also lived near them on Pawleys Island, moved to Loveland, Colorado with his new bride after his first wife died.

Ann once was in charge of the BJ Features Dept. Roger Mezger was among about two dozen BJ folks who switched to the Plain Dealer.

Char and Art are on a national tour. They attended Char's 45th class reunion in Wheeling, West Virginia, before meeting up with Ann and Roger and Sue and Roger for a week's vacation in Garden City Beach, south of Myrtle Beach, SC. After that, Char and Art will fly to Connecticut to meet their son's future in-laws (Oct. 30 wedding in Connecticut). They'll fly home so Art can set up an art show at Hardesty Park. Art has another art show at Hudson's Art on the Green in September. Then there's the October wedding. In between, Art is busy helping care for his granddaughter, born in May.

Whew!

And people think I'm busy.
