Today's monthly Papa Joe's restaurant lunch of Beacon Journal retirees had the usual participants: Newsroom retiree John Olesky, retired printers Cal Deshong, who will be 92 years old on Nov. 24, Al Hunsicker, Gene McClellan and Carl Nelson. There hasn't been a lower attendance since only engraving retiree Pat Dougherty and McClellan showed up during a February 2010 snowstorm. The lunch is at 1 p.m. the second Wednesday of each month at Akron-Peninsula Road and Portage Trail Extension.
