Rodney Brown: A Tale of Two In-plant Eras
Rodney Brown has witnessed the printing environment shift from one dominated by rough, hands-on press work to today’s domination by digital presses.
"I LEARNED how to run the Ludlows and then offset," says Rodney Brown, referring to a stint working on a Ludlow hot metal typesetting system at Kent County Publishing back in May 1965. "It was rigorous to do. I just liked it. Even back then, there was always something new."
Brown later became head pressman at Tidewater Publishing but left to pursue an education, even after receiving a 10-cent raise. "It was a big deal back then," he remarks.
