[QUOTE=1967 4K;1661006]In 1984 I moved to Danville, Ky. for employment opportunity. I helped build a R.R. Donnelley and Sons Co. magazine printing facility. One year later I started working for them as an Electrical Contractor installing Priniting and Binding machinery for a 30 year run until I retired.
At one time they employed 1,500 people, the largest employer in the county. Tomorrow they will close the doors, probably for good. On Line available Subscriptions have killed paper printing world wide. Some of the most advanced printing equipment in the world is setting idle in that plant and no market to sell it. Some of it has already been sold for scrap iron.
A lot of good people I know have lost their jobs. I guess time changes most everything and we have to roll with the punches and move on!
1967 4K[/Q At one point R.R. Donnelley and Sons was the #1 employer here in the county of Lancaster PA with 3 plant locations. Once they lost the TV Guide contract years ago its been a downward spiral for them .
