newspapers, I have had the longest association with The
Tribune now lasting for over six decades. In fact, it has
been far far longer than with any other newspaper. While
in school I became a keen a reader of this paper,
particularly the news and letters to the editor and often
wondered whether I could contribute something of public
interest.
