This is a nice well written article. I feel the same way about newspapers, I wish I could still get some printers ink smeared on my hands from reading two or three papers a day. When we lose newspapers, the community loses its collective memory.
I loved reading our paper every afternoon when I got home from school. We six kids fought over it (not enough sections to go around). Then my dad would come home from work at 5:15, sit down with his nightly beer, snd read the whole paper before supper. Getting a paper copy is next to impossible now, but I love it when I do.
Thanks, Doug, for sharing your space!
Shirley and I share three likes: newspapers,recycling and Iowa Great Lakes. We met @ OWR I. Fun to read her piece.
What a wonderful story! So detailed, so alive! Thank you.
