I read a lot of O’Flaherty’s columns back then, as well as Caen, Delaplane, McCabe, Hoppe, etc., etc. The golden days of newspapers – the Sunday “pink” entertainment section was larger by itself than most newspapers are today in total (including the poor emaciated Chronicle).
Seven days a week Chronicle home delivery, 1965 – 2005. Sure wish I could go back through them all again…
Did you catch the reference to Jerry Bundsen in the Thursday December 6th Emmy Lou? It was a reference to Herb Caen’s assistant and fact checker in the old days. Bundsen also provided a lot of the punch lines for Marty’s strips. My goodness how I miss the “old days” of newspapers.
