A Family Affair

Yearbook Chat with Jim

A few weeks ago, host Jim Jordan read two articles on the Walsworth Yearbooks blog about covering controversial topics in a yearbook. Those two articles were written by a father/daughter yearbook team, which sparked the idea for this episode.
Jim Jordan was a yearbook adviser for 35 years, and during that time all three of his children were on his staff. So he decided to reach out to the authors of those articles, Jon and Lucy Bickell, from Eastern Lebanon County High School in Meyerstown, Pennsylvania. He also asked his friend Brit Taylor, CJE, whose daughter, Maggie, is currently the Editor-in-chief of their yearbook staff.
These two dynamic duos shared what it's like to work together with a close family member, and the extra challenges they faced working to create a yearbook during a global pandemic. We hope you enjoy.
