How I Got Involved in Letterpress Printing: Started
working the week I graduated from high school (June 9, 1952 to be exact) at a new letterpress printed daily in my home town of West
Lebanon, New Hampshire. Developed interest in hobby/commercial printing and acquired a Kelsey which I later traded for a brass armed
Gordon. Did this for the four years I was in college (summers) and did not get serious about printing again until my wife and I bought
the Silverton Standard and the Miner in 1976. Have been invloved in printing since then. Paper was sold in 1990.

Equipment: Multigraph, Baltimorian, 8x12 C&P (OS), 8x12 Gordon (as above), paper cutter, and a mixed bag of type in various style
