KENOSHA – Three copy editors who each had spent more than 20 years at the Kenosha News bid farewell to the newspaper last week.
Laura Tucker, Julie Vander Velden and Scott Koker worked their last day together on Friday, Nov. 15. In addition to copy editing, they also served as page designers for the News.
The newspaper, which was purchased earlier this year by Lee Enterprises, recently shifted its production to a regional design center in Madison.
Liz Snyder, a columnist, editor and features writer for the News, wrote about their departures in her weekly column. She also noted that Vander Velden had trained her on the copy desk in December 1987, when Snyder joined the News.
