Last man standing. . .

Still going and going and going. . .
When Gloria took her place in the office chair in the photo below on her last day of work in 1978, she was celebrating her departure from the newspaper company after a couple of years as a sales representative. (The photo is so old Stan has a full head of hair.) Since then, everyone in the black and white photo has, one at a time, left the company. . . except one guy, the one standing there with the big grin and wide tie, smiling like he knows something. He's Bob Suel, and he's the only one in the photo who is still with the company. Congratulations to Mr. Durability, above. (The gift bottle wasn't for him -- it went to Mark, at the far right in the photo below -- who departed this week.)

Newspaper employees gathered 35 years ago to wish Gloria Mihevic adieu.
