I got into the printing industry in 1976 with handset type, linotype & hand feed c&p presses.
As of late my thoughts turn back to some of the older craftmen that taught me my trade, and wished I had written down some of their stories that happened in their lives.
I'd love to hear some of the stories, adventures, etc. that you may have experienced to record & share with the newer generation of printers & typesetters.
I hope some of you respond by email and we can preserve our history!
Thanks,
Don
