Remembering typing up news in EHN office



2023-06-28 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
When I saw this in a vintage shop recently, I pictured Miss Ruth VanZant, society news editor and office manager in the 1960s Edmonton Herald-News office. She'd answer the classic black rotary dial telephone, "Herald News," listen, nod, say unhuh, ask occasional details, then hang up and pound out a story in no time flat on a typewriter much like this one. I was the high school news reporter and she allowed me to come in after class and use it. She didn't make fun of me, as slow as Christmas on the keys. - LW
