The human interaction of days gone by, or electronic greetings today. Which one do you prefer?
Gordon McCormack had been hawking newspapers on the corner of Broadway and Brand Boulevard in Glendale for 17 years before newspaper racks were moved in on his territory in the early 1970s to ultimately take his job.
Never gave directions when people were lost, and never took a day off in more than 40 years until racks started losing their corners and were taken off the streets. “Give me 15-inches and make it fast,” said the city editor, George Gunston. “You’ve got two hours until deadline.” I was five-graphs into the story when George reached over my shoulder and ripped the top half of the paper from the typewriter carriage, and stuck it in a pneumatic tube that shot through a hole in the ceiling to the composing room above to be set in type.
I stood on his corner watching cars slow down, ready to pull to the curb, but there was no little man with the newspapers in his arms waiting for them. Many people said they had never bought a paper from him or even given him a second thought, but now that he was gone they missed not seeing him there anymore.
