About this listen

 Travel to the 1950’s with Tom Barker as he takes you on his Rollfast Bicycle for a ride back in time when the minimum wage was $1 an hour, a stamp cost 3 cents and a newspaper was a nickel. Tom takes you on a visit to the lost world of delivery of the mighty newspaper by an army of teens. Learn how hundreds of newspaper carriers got the latest news, fashion, sports, and advertising out to the masses. Understand the importance of the newspaper boy institution and the famous people it has influenced and were once among its ranks. Tom will tell you how he got his paper route, overcame obstacles, made new friends, and endeared himself to the customers on route S-2 in Irondequoit New York.

I enjoyed the stories of the newspaper boy and how he was able to reflect on his “career” choice as a young man. He understood the discipline of waking up early rain or shine to get his job done. A relatable tale for anyone with a job to be able to reflect on the grand scale of things even if the job doesn’t seem very important.
