Former BJ City Hall reporter John Higgins had a reunion with former BJ columnist Stuart Warner and Debbie Van Tassel Warner, Stuart’s wife and former BJ Sunday editor, in Arizona.

John and wife Mary Ann had family in Washington State when John was at the BJ. They live in Seattle today.

John was taking a holiday from Seattle for a Grand Canyon vacation with his wife and daughter. Not even the hat and the umbrella were enough to protect him for the 103-degree heat.

John's articles won several state awards during his time at Ol' Blue Walls.

Stuart posted the photo on the BJ Facebook page.
