In high school on the final exam for American History I wrote an essay called “The Power Of The Written Word” citing the Federalist Papers and The Constitution. Later while working at a newspaper I discovered the power of the printing press when it is delivering that message as words and photographs.
My photographer colleague and I were charged with taking the plates to Rockland for the printing of the paper every Wednesday night. I will never forget the sensation of watching 5000 copies of the paper come screaming off of the Goss printing press. I knew right then that editorial work would be a love for me.
