Such kind words - thank you! I'm very flattered! That's so interesting about your dad working as a linotype specialist for the P-I. That's one thing that I've always loved about newspapers - they seem to be such a family thing. It breaks my heart that it seems that they're slowly slipping away. But who knows what will be next - hopefully it's big, bold and beautiful like newspapers were in their heyday. That's wonderful that your daughter is involved in journalism as well. It sounds like she's already had some wonderful experiences! Thanks for following my posts - I always welcome comments and feedback! I wish the best to you too! Thanks Merle!

His father began and owned a weekly newspaper in Ronan, the Ronan Pioneer. Dad took it over, but sold it in the 1970's and went to Seattle and the P-I. He has passed away. http://www.woodsidepress.com/LINOTYPE.HTML Dad graduated from the University of Montana in Journalism in the early 1950's. Now my daughter, Jessa Loman Linford, is at U of M as a senior photo journalism student and plays for the Lady Griz. She did an internship at the Missoulian. She spent last summer in Kyrgystan working for a program called "International War and Peace." Glad it was last year since there is uprising going on there now. Anyway, LOVE this photo and the story behind it. I am following your Facebook page and blog. You are an inspiration to me and I am sure to so many others. Thank you for sharing and best of luck in all you do. My dad worked at the P-I in as a “linotype specialist,” a now extinct position.
