One thing I know I got from my dad, the love of newspapers. Growing up, there was always two newspapers to read every day. In the morning it was the Boston Record-American. It was kind of like a tabloid but it was a great source for news and sporting news. The back page always had the latest on the Red Sox and all of the other Boston teams. The news stories followed politics closely. I didn't always agree with their views but is was interesting to read. In the evening we always got the Springfield Daily News. It was a great source for local news. I would also always read the comics in both papers.
Today, I still read the paper every day and I still follow the comics. I know I can get all of the news online now but there's something about holding the paper in your hand and reading it from the first page to the last.
My brother and sister are also loyal newspaper readers, I fell sad when newspapers go out out of business. I hope there's at least one I can always read.
