Then you set me to task (making something for me to do),"Put these fonts in chronological order," and left the room. I was in a cold sweat; you were mad already and I had no idea what you meant as I stared and shuffled those plastic discs all filled with letters that were supposed to be in chronological order. In part, this must have been your revenge for me winning. Thanks for clarifying that mission after 38 years! You and Mike (yes, Mariner co-founder Michael Stearns) were like family. "David and Mike, they are family," Dad would say.
Over the years, I would become the after-midnight marathon jogger, (no counterveyor, the papers, you remember, would come up the belt and hit the leg of the table and keep coming), the Clipper pressman, a member of the distinguished collating staff, the press maintenance man, the plate maker, the darkroom camera man, the chauffeur, the truck driver, the house sitter, the trash man (remember the makeshift Dumpster behind the barn), the house painter, the paste-up and layout artist, the chess quiz composer, the newspaper delivery man, the courier, the tenant, the "Mad" Mariner print shop printer … I must have forgotten something.
In September of 1988, I bought my very own first 35mm camera while on vacation in California. The first week back I shot an accident at the end of Enterprise Drive and it ran in Marshfield. Finally, we found the obvious winning combination — a photographer. It was a pastime that I had loved since "The Lou" planted that Polaroid camera in my hands when I was 5 years old. By February of 1995, thanks to you, "Big John Henry Cutler" (he had a big heart too), and the amazing editor/writer Cathy Conley, I was New England Press Association Photographer of the Year two years consecutively and published in Life Magazine twice.

Dear David: It was actually the summer of ’72 when the one, the only Lou Bernstein (The Lou, my dad the artist) with the green 1965 T'Bird convertible decked out with dueling spotlights and rows of car badges dropped me off at the office to “work” while he went off to draw cartoons around Marshfield for the new paper in town. That would place me at 13 years old. We played our first of many great games of chess. I was a little intimidated by you biting your nails and rolling up your sleeves, presenting those big forearms on the desk, then getting angry (at yourself) as I managed to gain the advantage and win (you probably blundered).

Beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday, a large excavator with an enormous vacuum literally sucked pipes off stacks and gingerly moved them to waiting truck trailers.
The vacuum lifter can lift or suck up to 25 tons of weight. By using this type of equipment, workers are not put at risk with cables and swinging pipes.
As if moving precious gems, the equipment put the operators skills to the test, making sure the outer covering of each pipe was not damaged.

The magazine's "Gear+Tools+Toys" section includes a color image of the Illuminator. Beneath the headline "Light Reserve," the following description appears: "Leave most batteries in a drawer too long, and they'll lose their charge. Not the backup battery in the mPower Emergency Illuminator LED Flashlight ($289). The manufacturer claims it can sit untouched for 20 years and still start up. The secret: Its lithium-based chemical cocktail doesn't actually mix until you call it into action for the first time. The device also comes with a USB plug for siphoning off power to gadgets during blackouts or emergencies. So it gets high marks for utility." "The appearance of the Emergency Illuminator in the pages of Popular Mechanics is a significant event," said Ron Durando, CEO of mPhase Technologies. "Along with the magazine's 1.2 million monthly readers, we at mPhase are fascinated by the power of new technology to improve our daily lives, and we believe the Illuminator is an ideal tool for everyone in today's high-tech world." Designed by Porsche Design Studio of Zell am See, Austria, and manufactured by MKE of Heidenreichstein, Austria, the mPower Emergency Illuminator is a precision instrument with a powerful 180 Lumens LED and two separate battery tubes. One tube is for everyday use and holds two CR123 batteries, while the other tube holds mPhase's Power On Command(TM) reserve battery. If the regular CR123 batteries run down, the Reserve Battery takes over -- even after laying idle for 20 years. The Emergency Illuminator also features a USB port that can be used for charging portable devices such as a cell phone.
