On their own: Former colleagues working on new ventures

Had a great lunch last week with some of my old Journal 'geezer' pals. Among those who came were Ron Krueger, the Journal's former premier food writer and critic. Ron is no longer with the paper, but is continuing to publish reviews on his new website "live2eat."

Stop by and visit and make your own suggestions and comments. I know Ron will appreciate the patronage.

Also, one of the Journal's finest photographers, Tom Cheek, who prowled the mean streets of Flint with me during the early part of my career there has his own website where he can be reached for photographic work. And, if you need photographic work, it would be hard to find someone better.

I worked with both Ron Krueger and Tom Cheek in Flint, and with you Jim in Pontiac. Three top-notch fellows and complete journalism professionals, if I must say. Cheers. SA

Thanks SA. I'll be posting a photo soon of all of us outside the Journal building on Thursday.

Did you go in the building, Jim? I'm sure management would have gotten all warm and fuzzy seeing you!

No I decided not to poke the bear. I'm sure they would have welcomed me with open arms and a pair of handcuffs.

But who knows, I may want to place a classified ad one of these days and I'd feel free to go in and do that. Well, until they close up shop anyway.
