PrintIn 1971, Richard M. Nixon was president, the anti-Vietnam War movement was in full swing and the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18.

Today, Jensen is "the lone remaining full-time production guy in what's left of the Missourian's back shop."
Take a look behind the scenes of how the process of printing a newspaper was done 40 years ago, and how things have changed.

Congrats on 40 years! Our hats are off to you, Ron, for keeping the salt mines running! No one else can do your job as well as you do, I know, I've tried many times ...
You filled each night with laughter and joy. Never thought in my life I would know it really never gets much below or above 82 degrees in Hawaii year round.
