..started out as a printer then reporter then editor then ran his own newspaper. He raised a family of 5 on that meager salary (a printer all that time). He is now 91..a Veteran of WW11 and Korea...and he has been a life long Republican (mom is a Dem so 2/3 of us kids followed her). He ran his own paper out of his house and used his home address and telephone number a a contact. I can ONLY IMAGINE what would happen to him, my mom and their business or home if he was a reporter today. Thank God.......
