Nice to hear your memories of the longtime Oliver Chronicle [Feb. 16].
Sorry to hear it is closing after all these years.
I recall many moons ago driving there from the Osoyoos Times when I was a new reporter and typesetter. I did a variety of chores back then fresh out of journalism school.
Our ancient typesetting machine had broken down, so original publisher of the Osoyoos Times, Stan Stodola, sent me there to use yours. Richard, Rob and company were all welcoming and gracious as newspaper ‘neighbours’ to help us out.
Times have changes and the days of print newspapers and the hometown newsroom are sadly dwindling. But technology and ‘progress moves.
