Sam at the Register Guard

Sam had the opportunity to come with me to work one night. And he had so much fun, that he bragged about that at school, and when my boss Jim retired, he came to the Register Guard and asked my new boss Dave, if he could come back again. And not quite understanding what Sam wanted, he said that he could come anytime. I had to tell Sam that Dave had misunderstood, and meant that he meant to the Register Guard. So Sam said one day that he wanted to come and help Dave with his job. That would be interesting to see. Here are some of the pictures I took of Sam when he came with me to the retirement farewell for Jim.

Here is Sam on the dock. He had lots of fun, and helped a lot in the ways he was asked to.


Here is Sam pushing a ton of paper literally. Each of these rolls weights about 2000 pounds.


Here is Sam at the controll desk of the paper. Every change that do not need an actually hand to fix, can get fixed from here.


Here is Sam (1) looking in on the press, (2) looking where the "Blankets" are made, (3) where the finished paper have it's last appearance in the press room, before fore it is sent to distribution. Blankets are a sheet of metal that contains the image of the page in one color. It need 4 blankets for each page, to get all the colors it needs to be complete. When Sam was with me, they made him his own blanket to remember his visit by. He also got three papers right of the press. He gave one to aunt Patty and her neighbor Mel.
