Parrie to icy land for Susan Miller

Former BJ graphics designer Susan Miller, who lives in her hometown of Canton, enjoyed her 3 weeks of travel to the other large change of earth’s land across the Atlantic.

She posted:

“I am grateful to share my latest journey of many steps over the last three weeks in Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and finally Iceland. P. S. I retired my laundromat work shoes on a balcony across from the Louvre in Paris.”

I was within 10 feet of the Mona Lisa when I was in the Louvre and have a replica hanging high on my living room wall that also has My Mona Lisa, my late wife who gave a half-century of glorious living.

Sue was at Ol’ Blue Walls for more than 25 years when she left the Advertising Art Department in 2009.

 

In 2014 Sue suffered a hairline fracture of her right tibia from her car's non-Olympic luge-style slide into an abutment on an icy Akron freeway.

 

Sue is a graduate of Canton Lincoln High School and 1976 graduate of Miami of Ohio University in Oxford.

JUNE 8 FOR ART KRUMMEL MEMORIAL SERVICE

 

             ART KRUMMEL WITH WIFE CHARLENE NEVADA

Art Krummel memorial service June 8

The memorial service for former BJ chief arist Art Krummel will be 11 a.m. Saturday, June 8 at the Newcomer Funeral Home, 131 N. Canton Road, Akron.

Art’s widow after 53 years of marriage and 35 years at the BJ together, former BJ reporter Charlene Nevada, posted:

“It has taken this long to schedule because Art wanted his former artist colleague, Terence Oliver, to preside. Terence is not, in AP style, a "The Rev.", but his faith and spirituality exceed many with that title. Juggling Terence's schedule with that of four active grandkids . . . well June 8 was our best choice.

 

“I don't know how many people not from this area plan to attend. But apparently many hotels are booked the night of June 7. It turns out to be Founders Day in Akron, when thousands of AA members come to town to honor Dr. Bob.

 

“Finally, people have asked where to send donations. They are not needed but if you choose, send them in Art's name to the Cuyahoga Valley Arts Center, 2131 Front St., Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221. It is a center for classes and amateur shows. Art taught Manga there once and had several pieces in shows. His bonsai club also met there and it was a place he cared about.”
