When Ricky Walters wandered into the Malvern Daily Record office looking for a job, he only thought he’d be there until he found the right thing for him.
Just a few years out of Magnet Cove High School, he’d already tried his hand at a few different trades but none of them really stuck — until he got a chance to be an apprentice pressman.
That was 45 years ago.
“I was working in circulation, and I was curious about what they did in the pressroom,” said Walters, press foreman of The Saline Courier, who is winding up his ink-stained career on Aug. 27.
“We’re grateful for the tenacity and 45 years of devotion to newspaper printing and production that Ricky has given to our industry,” said Rhonda Overbey, publisher of The Saline Courier. “Ricky is grounded in a strong faith and a wonderful family; we know he’ll enjoy this retirement.”
