How many of our members are old enough to have used a Linotype? How many members still have an old, dusty Linotype in the back of their office? Here’s a remembrance of that wondrous machine that weekly newspapers depended on for decades. And it mentions the late Garrett Ray, Cervi winner and mentor to many of us. https://leonaldridge.com/

Weekly newspaper editors will enjoy this song, Hickory Hollow Times and County News sung by country-music legend Charley Pride, who died today of COVID at age 86. Thanks to the Texas Press Association for sharing the link. https://m.youtube.com/watch

Editor Don Brod asked ISWNE members, "How about Halifax?" in the lead item of the March 1986 ISWNE newsletter. Bob Mossman and Jim MacNeil would coordinate our 32nd annual conference that June at the University of King's College in Halifax. On Page 9, Don asked members to "Write a Pulitzer Prize-winning article for Grassroots Editor." I found and scanned my copy of the newsletter this afternoon. Enjoy the memories!
