Three veteran Miami Herald journalists with a combined 120+ years of experience are preparing to bid the paper farewell. Copy editor Sam Jacobs, and photojournalists Marice Cohn Band and Joe Rimkus Jr. decided to accept a recent buyout offer and will say goodbye to colleagues this Friday.
Joe Rimkus, Jr.
began his career in photojournalism by tagging along to football games with his
father, long-time Miami News photographer Joe Rimkus Sr.
"I learned everything from him,"
Joe told the
Sun-Sentinel in 1995.
Joe - an FIU graduate - started at the Herald
40 years ago, getting his foot in the door by starting out as a photo lab tech.
Marice Cohn Band, Born
and reared in Miami, began her career at the Herald in 1979 after an
internship at the old Miami News and a stint as a photographer at the
Miami Beach Sun-Reporter.
In her almost 35 years at the paper, she's
covered every kind of
assignment. But she's perhaps best known for her
tender feature images of children.
Copy editor Sam Jacobs joined the Herald in 1967 and is the paper's longest serving newsroom staffer.
