I LOVE this post- both segments. I can only imagine myself forgetting to push the green arrow. And, I loved reading about visits to the old pressroom by school children. My grandfather spent his life as a newspaper publisher and I have very visceral memories of watching the presses- the noise and the smell of the ink. I am now 77, so that was more than 70 years ago. Thank you for that sweet memory. And, thank you for publishing the information about the Music Festival. You really make me wish I still lived in the Valley, as do so many of the Napa Valley Features articles. I am grateful to Tim Carl and all of the contributors, and I LOVED reading that many of you are finding fun you might have forgotten... wonderful.
I remember walking down the alley in St. Helena that ran next to the Star Building. On a Wednesday night you could peek in the side door at the press room and watch the St. Helena Star be printed. Next year in September is the 150th anniversary of the first edition of the Star. Let's hope it makes it. "Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end."
Sol glad you published the article again!!
