I began working for James Lenamon and The Albany News when I was in high school. Mostly in the summers, I would primarily type columns and contributions to the newspaper from others. My job was also inputting the weekly ad for Hometown Grocery on the new Compugraphic typesetting equipment. That machine was huge(!) and took up almost an entire little office.

“Over the hills and trees yonder…..you folks can see our courthouse clock. As we have played our show for you, it has ticked the minutes away…….just as it has ticked whole days, whole months, and whole years from the lives of us…..here in Albany.”
