Paper mill memories
The St. Joe Company’s paper mill has been closed down since August 14, 1998, but that hasn’t stopped a dedicated group of organizers, led by Bob Wahl and Marlin Taylor, from hosting a reunion each year. On Saturday at the Port St. Joe High School cafeteria, about 70 men and women who used to work at the paper mill and box plant came by to share memories and a hearty lunch.
