headlines

This building is still there, and that newspaper is still around too.

The month and year of my birth in Chillicothe, Mo. My folks literally lived in a tarpaper shack. They moved to Norwalk, Ca. three months later. Thank you, folks! I don't like the cold at all, at all! My dad later worked in the war industry and in the merchan marine. My mom was one of thosee "Rosie the riviters" in Long Beach.

Gee, I wish the stupid, smart-ass notes would be deleted off these photos.

I agree about the stupid notes , teenager type of attention seeking and annoying .

What's the matter with those people? Didn't they have any internets???

The big sheet in the middle column mentions Winston Churchill bidding the Italian people to "oust Mussolini," their fascist dictator. He made that speech on December 23, 1940. During the 1950s and 60s my mother worked here at the Enterprise, writing articles for the social pages. I went inside the building a few times to see her, but in 1959 went in on my own to read an essay I wrote on WBET, the newspaper's radio station.

I remember as a kid, I used to see this and people gatherd th read some of the headlines that would appear in the paper! The Brockton Enterprise had been sold out to the the ledger. The Enterprise does not belong to the people of Brockton anymore!
