Former Los Angeles Times pressman Frank Cordola stopped by this morning afer working a night shift at his new job this morning.
Frankie asked that I say hello to all his old friends at the newspaper, and said he misses everyone.
Frank said at his new job (San Bernadino Sun) that he works much harder than he worked at the Times. He has to bar the plate cylinders around by hand, removes the protective wraps from the newsprint, makes $16.50 per hour, and works forty plus hours per week.
Several other former Times employees work at the newspaper as well. Susan Marquez, Danny Valasquez, John Kerns, and David Zutz.
Frank is planning to attend our October dinner, to say hello to all of his friends.
