Many thanks, all of you, for the trip down memory lane. Dad owned a linotypesetting plant (Tizard Type)in Minneapolis, MN, 1947-1960, after working for the Minneapolis Tribune and Anaconda's Montana newspapers. Some of my best childhood memories are at the shop: the smell of drossing the pots, the expletives deleted every time a mold squirted, the happy click of the mat-distributors, the fine people who sat in those low chairs. Although excluded by the ITU from operating the machines, I could help with bookkeeping and a bit of proofreading (truly a lost art).
