I did reverse of v63, raised on the SF Chronicle and Oakland Tribune, and actually had a couple of Oakland Tribune paper routes as a kid in the early 1960's (before heading south, and to the LA Times, at the end of the decade). When JFK was shot, and the news played over the school PA system, it was a shock, but delivering the Oakland Tribune afterwards is what made it really sink in and hit home. Most of Mrs. Buzz's family works, or has worked in the newspaper business, so it's close to home for us. The OC Register has the best Fry's ads BTW. Journalism needs to survive and thrive, but figuring out to make that happen isn't easy in the fast paced, technology advancing era that has come into play over the last 15-20 years. We need to learn how to better adapt to to this type of change.
