My forebears

The old press in the back room got moved out of the Chaska Weekly Valley Herald before I showed up, but just barely. I had 40 years to take this newspaper and others into the consolidated digital marvel they are today. Lots of help, of course. Here, in tribute, are the boss and two of the back room pressmen proudly at their state-of-the art posts.
These were beasts to operate, frustrating and stubborn, dangerous.  But they got the job done for years. If we ever Make American Great Again, please Lord, don't go back to this!
