CHICAGO, Aug. 04, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RR Donnelley & Sons Company (Nasdaq:RRD) today

announced that it intends to create three independent, publicly traded companies: one business focused on

financial communications and data services; one business focused on publishing and retail-centric print

services; and one business focused on customized multichannel communications management.

Thomas J. Quinlan III, RR Donnelley's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Over the last decade,

we have strengthened our business portfolio through a combination of organic growth and strategic

acquisitions, developing new products and services, inventing fresh ways to serve customers, attracting

additional talent and building information technology systems.

"We see a significant opportunity to unlock value by allowing these three businesses to pursue their own

strategies and invest according to the unique dynamics of their respective industries. Each company will

have the strategic focus, management resources and capital structure to enable it to strengthen its market

position and pursue its growth opportunities, enhancing long-term value for stakeholders."

The creation of these three independent businesses is expected to deliver the following strategic and financial

benefits;

Strategic Benefits

Each business to focus on its distinct strategic priorities, driving opportunities to accelerate growth

and enhance long-term value

Greater flexibility to execute tailored business strategies and compete in evolving markets

Even more focused brand strategy to support each business's marketing plan

Financial Benefits

Tailored capital structures reflective of each business's financial and growth profiles

Better-optimized investment policies

Market recognition of standalone growth prospects and profitability

Enable investors' valuations to reflect each business's unique operating and financial dynamics

Quinlan continued, "We recognize that parts of the current portfolio will be more successful pursuing

different strategies, and that these particular businesses offer the scale, expertise, product and service mix

and other resources to excel as standalone companies. Creating three independent companies will allow each

to more quickly capitalize on opportunities created by continued technological innovation and globalization

within the markets they serve."

Stanley Laurinaitis Chicago Financial BE

Judi & Stan celebrated their 50th

wedding anniversary

April 2015.The party was held at the Bonfire Restaurant

in Homer Glen. We celebrated with our two daughters

and son and six grandchildren. Our friends and close

family attended as well.

Don Bergen Corp-Warsaw-Lanc-Chgo-Pittsb HR

Earlier this summer we visited the Hesston Steam Museum just north of LA Porte Indiana. It’s a wonderful

place to spend a day and there are three steam powered trains to ride. Soon after we arrived, we boarded this

train without having seen the locomotive. My wife Jackie mentioned to our daughter that the train reminded

her of the trains at the Brookfield Zoo that had been donated by Elliott Donnelley.

The gentleman in the picture heard her mention the Donnelley family and asked what our connection was. I

told him that I worked for RRD for 37 years and knew most of the family including Jim Tom and Elliott. He

went on to relate that Jim and Tom had both visited the

museum and as recently as 2 years ago and that the family had

donated much of the equipment we would be riding that day.

We had a great time with our daughter, Anne, from Singapore

and her children. It was a fun way to reconnect with the

Donnelley family.

Since we retired in 2005, Jackie and I have lived in Warsaw,

IN near our son Michael and his wife and four sons. We are

both involved in community service and keep very busy. We

travel as much as we can including, hot surprisingly, several

trips to Singapore and SE Asia. Our best to all our fellow

retirees, especially those from Chicago, Lancaster, Warsaw,

Pittsburgh and Corporate.

Ron Behnke Chicago WB

Ron Behnke celebrated his 90th Birthday on August 5th, 2015. My wife, Rita, and I

attended the celebration at The Plantation Golf & Country Club, in Venice, FL, where

Ron lives and is a member. The date was also our 54th Wedding Anniversary. We

regularly got together with Ron and his wife Shirley, who passed away last year, to

celebrate both occasions.

Joe Barton Chicago/Mattoon/Lancaster/Corp.

If you've ever worked for a boss who reacts before getting the facts and thinking things through, you will

love this!

Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to

rid the company of all slackers. >>

>> On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers

and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He asked the guy, "How much money do you make

a week?" >>

>> A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, "I make $400 a week. Why?" >>

>> The CEO said, "Wait right here." He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes, and handed

the guy $1,600 in cash and said, "Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back." >>

>> Feeling pretty good about himself the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell

me what that goof-ball did here?" >>

>> From across the room a voice said, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

Think you are having a bad day?

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section of forest while assessing the damage

done by a forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his

back, flippers, and face mask.

A post-mortem test revealed that the man died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental

records provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clothed diver

ended up in the middle of a forest fire. It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the

Pat Matthews is wondering how it could

have possibly split the middle! Walter

Bohenek & barb Zach are wondering too!

We are such a Happy Bunch,

come out next year and join us!

man went diving off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as

quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from

the ocean and emptied at the site of the forest fire.

You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next, he was doing the

breast stroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air.

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed, but keep reading.

Still t h ink you ' r e having a bad day? A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine,

the motorcycle accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged along

as it burst through the glass patio doors.

His wife, hearing the crash, ran in the room to find her husband cut and bleeding, the motorcycle, and the

shattered patio door. She called for an ambulance and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down

the several flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to her husband.

While the attendants were loading her husband, the wife managed to right the motorcycle and push it outside.

She also quickly blotted up the spilled petrol with some paper towels and tossed them into the toilet.

After being treated and released, the man returned home, looked at the shattered patio door and the damage

done to his motorcycle. He went into the bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to

his business. About to stand, he flipped the butt between his legs.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him lying on

the bathroom floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks, legs and groin, she once again

phoned for an ambulance. The same paramedic crew was dispatched.

As the paramedics carried the man down the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to

burn himself. She told them. They started laughing so hard, one slipped, the stretcher dumping the husband

out. He fell down the remaining stairs, breaking his arm.

Still having a bad day?

J us t remember, it could be worse... The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

Still think you a r e ha v in g a bad d ay? A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with

some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the

deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that

moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

S T I L L t h ink you ' r e ha vi n g a bad d ay? Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn,

Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding

madly. The two hapless protesters were trampled to death.

W h a t?! S TILL ha v in g a b a d day? ? Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with 'return to sender'

stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

T h e r e now, feeling better?

I thought you might find following article interesting. It is about two years old.

November 22, 2013, marks the 50th anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy. On that day in

1963, the news of President Kennedy’s tragic death shocked the world and plunged the United States into

mourning. Although five decades have passed, the memory of the day remains vivid to the generation of

Americans that lived through the experience. Many of you may know a relative or neighbor who can recall in

detail where they were when they heard the tragic news. In the days and weeks following the death of

President Kennedy, the White House received a flood of condolence mail—over 800,000 letters in the first

six weeks, a figure that would eventually rise to over 1.5 million letters.

Condolences arrived from around the world. Men, women, and children from diverse backgrounds—social,

economic, political, ethnic, racial, and religious—wrote to Jacqueline Kennedy and her children. They

declared their shock and disbelief, supplied words of support and encouragement, shared their memories of

President Kennedy, and expressed what he meant to them. They also sought to assure the Kennedy family

that John F. Kennedy and his legacy would be remembered.

Crawfordsville Division 39th Annual Retiree Breakfast

Over 250 retirees gathered together for the 39th Annual Retiree breakfast at the Crawfordsville High School,

welcomed by Steve Seamans and his staff. After the meal, Steve spoke of the Crawfordsville Division,

stating the division was on the positive side of their budgets for the past two years. Overall, he said, the

Book Group represents 10% of total RRD, with over $1 billion in sales. Recently RRD bought the Courier

Corporation, which brings several different facets of manufacturing into the company, including customers

such as Gideon Bibles.

Also of local interest is the inclusion of Moore Langen Printing, located in Terre Haute Indiana, with its

large sheet-fed capacity. (Moore Langen for many years was a major producer of record jackets for

Columbia Records, which was also in Terre Haute. How many of us belonged to the Columbia Records

Club in the past?) Steve spoke of how the digital age has changed the short run printing processes; such has

having zero makeready waste at press, instead of tossing sometimes hundreds of sigs on each form start-up.

He also spoke about the dominance of some authors, such as James Patterson and Michael Connelley. He

said these two authors can require a total of five million books at their first release, which sometimes cause

other author's books to be withheld for a period of time. (At the end of the breakfast all retirees were given a

copy of the two latest books by these authors. Thank you!)

RRD is now an $11.5 billion company with 65,000 employees worldwide. The company is now well known

as an "integration supplier," providing such things as the electronic menu boards at Chic-fil-A restaurants,

and recognition chips in rental car key tags so that the renters, or car jockeys, can find a particular car in the

large airport rental lots.

Also attending the breakfast was Dirk Hiler, who is now responsible for all RRD book facilities. Our former

head and local boy makes good, John Pecaric, is now responsible for all the international business and works

out of Shanghai, China. We all remember when he used to live less than a half-mile from our South Plant in

the middle of a cornfield. What a change for him and his family!

The most devastating fire in United States history

occurred October 7, 1871 in Wisconsin . Over the course

of the next day, 1,200 people lost their lives and 2 billion

trees were consumed by flames. Despite the massive

scale of the blaze, it was overshadowed by the Great

Chicago Fire, which began the next day about 250 miles

away.

Peshtigo, Wisconsin, was a company lumber and

sawmill town owned by William Ogden that was home

to what was then one of the largest wood-products

factories in the United States. The summer of 1871 was

particularly dry across the northern Midwest. Still,

settlers continued to set fires, using the "slash and burn"

method to create new farmland and, in the process,

making the risk of forest fire substantial. In fact, the

month before had seen significant fires burn from

Canada to Iowa.

Peshtigo, like many Midwestern towns, was highly

vulnerable to fire. Nearly every structure in town was a

timber-framed building--prime fuel for a fire. In

addition, the roads in and out of town were covered with

saw dust and a key bridge was made of wood. This

would allow a fire from outside the town to easily spread

to Peshtigo and make escaping from a fire in the town

difficult. On September 23, the town had stockpiled a

large supply of water in case a nearby fire headed in Peshtigo's direction. Still, they were not prepared for the

size and speed of the October 7 blaze.

The blaze began at an unknown spot in the dense Wisconsin forest. It first spread to the small village of

Sugar Bush, where every resident was killed. High winds then sent the 200-foot flames racing northeast

toward the neighboring community of Peshtigo. Temperatures reached 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, causing

trees to literally explode in the flames.

On October 8, the fire reached Peshtigo without warning. Two hundred people died in a single tavern.

Others fled to a nearby river, where several people died from drowning. Three people who sought refuge in a

water tank boiled to death when the fire heated the tank. A mass grave of nearly 350 people was established

because extensive burns made it impossible to identify the bodies.

Despite the fact that this was the worst fire in American history, newspaper headlines on subsequent days

were dominated by the story of another devastating, though smaller, blaze: the Great Chicago Fire.

The Coca-Cola Bottle: Celebrating 100 Years of an American Icon

Original Coke Bottle Patent, November 16, 1915. (Records of the

Patent and Trademark Office, National Archives)

Today the Coca-Cola bottle is one of the most recognizable

containers in the world, but a century ago nearly all soda bottles

looked the same.

To distinguish its product from competitors, in 1915 the Coca-Cola

Company launched a competition among glassmakers to design a

new bottle that was distinctive in both look and feel.

The winning design, patented by the Root Glass Company of Terre

Haute, Indiana, sought inspiration from Coca-Cola’s ingredients.

However, the bottle’s fluted contour shape was instead modeled

after the cacao pod, the main ingredient in chocolate.

The Coca-Cola Company adopted the Root Glass Company’s bottle

design in 1916, but the original prototype was never manufactured

because it was top-heavy and unstable.

The first commercial “Coke” bottles debuted with a wider base and

slimmed-down, contoured shape. This silhouette became so

unmistakable that in 1961 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

gave it trademark status.

Please be careful! Half of seniors, age 80 and over, fall annually.

Falls are the leading cause of death, injury and hospital admissions among the elderly population. In fact, one

out of every three seniors falls every year. Last year alone, more than 1.6 million seniors were treated in

emergency rooms for fall-related injuries.

Several factors contribute to the fact that seniors fall so much more frequently than younger people:

Lack of physical activity. Failure to exercise regularly results in poor muscle tone, decreased bone mass,

loss of balance, and reduced flexibility.

Impaired vision. This includes age-related vision diseases, as well as not wearing glasses that have been

prescribed.

Medications. Sedatives, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotic drugs, plus taking multiple medications are all

implicated in increasing risk of falling.

Diseases. Health conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and arthritis cause weakness in

the extremities, poor grip strength, balance disorders and cognitive impairment.

Surgeries. Hip replacements and other surgeries leave an elderly person weak, in pain and discomfort and

less mobile than they were before the surgery.

Environmental hazards. One third of all falls in the elderly population involve hazards at home. Factors

include: poor lighting, loose carpets and lack of safety equipment.

My new bride, Precious, and yours truly, want to wish everyone a Happy

Thanksgiving!
