Memories of Growing Up in Marysville

Pictured above is former longtime Journal-Tribune employee Don Streng at work in the old newspaper building on the corner at 131 N. Main St. in Marysville. He is shown putting together a form used in the hot metal (lead) system for a commercial printing job. The photo was taken sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s. Visible through the window is the former gas station on the other side of Fourth Street which was later purchased by the Journal-Tribune and demolished to make way for the current newspaper building at 207 N. Main St. Don was the backbone of the J-T for 50 years and provided an excellent example for other staff members during his time of employment and well afterwards. (Journal-Tribune file photo)
