TRANSCRIPT
I remember the last couple of years in the business, grandpa, the only time I saw grandpa frustrated, because grandpa was not that type of individual.
I could see very clearly that he was frustrated about the change he could see in the printing industry and grandpa was into lino type, handsetting type, hot metal and wood blocks. That was printing to grandpa.
And all of a sudden the offset was coming in with metal pipes. I remember grandpa looking at it and going, 'Tsk tsk that's just not printing you know.'
I could see his frustrations with that era coming in but I remember so vividly, my grandfather said to me,' Ah, Doug, I cannot imagine what you will see in your lifetime. If you saw what I saw, - I cannot remember what he told me - power, telegraph, telephone, airplane and he would name all these things and he would say, 'I just cannot imagine what you are going to see you in your lifetime, considering what I have seen in my lifetime, the automobile.'
But the printing did bother him as it moved from hand set type and wood blocks, lithograph.
It just irritated him, 'That's not printing anymore.'
