As a kid my dad would take me into the press room to see old friends and the guys would always make me those newspaper hats. It holds great memories. My grandfather was with the News and the Times since the about the same time but he was a teamster. I bet my grandfather and uncle and dad knew your grandfather. Those old timers had some great stories. Not to long ago I was walking in the neighborhood past San Giuseppe's and there were signs in Chinese hanging from it. The place is a different world now. My Aunt is older now and splits here time between Monroe Street and Long Beach.
