To the editor:
In the 1950s, the Herald-Star did not have a Sunday edition. So we subscribed on Sundays to the Pittsburgh Press, which was always a welcome addition to our home. It was a joy to get something from the big city. Dad always got the front section first and the rest of us scrambled to get the newspaper.
It was a family tradition, something eagerly shared together, each of us reading in silence and occasionally making some quip, especially the funnies.
It was an opportunity to discuss the arts and culture, the sciences, museums, sports, entertainment and so much more. Also pre-cable TV, along our creek we had better reception from three major networks through Pittsburgh than from WSTV-TV just over the next hill.
