It is regrettable that in the seven-inch July 25 obituary of former Post Linotype operator George E. Singer, no explanation of what that job entailed was included.
I know newspaper space is limited -- and diminishing -- but, for the masses who have no idea how newspapers were produced in the pre-digital era, it would have been nice to explain a job that took skill and perseverance, often under tight deadlines.
Mr. Singer and his colleagues who labored as Linotypists at The Post during its halcyon days deserve this recognition.
