Thomas Hardie, Star Tribune VP of production, dies at 69: Hardie was born in Milaca, Minnesota, and graduated from Minneapolis Central High School in 1965. He joined the U.S. Army stationed in Hawaii and married his high school sweetheart, Barbara, in 1968. Hardie started at the Star Tribune as a plate boy and went on to become a journeyman pressman. He climbed the ladder to become production superintendent, then director of printing operations just when the Minnesota Twins won the World Series in 1991, having to print a massive amount of color faster than ever. “Our people really rose to the occasion,” he said of the workers on that job. Hardie was promoted to vice president in 1996.
