Morris said we would make up a new front page and include all the news we had about the Kennedy assassination. Everyone pitched in. Some were called on to write headlines. Others were called on to size up the photographs. Engravings of the AP wirephotos from Dallas were made and people like the late Horace Truitt and his crew made up the front page along with Morris in the composing room.
Phones rang throughout the building.
Husband and wives and friends of employees called in to see if they knew anymore about the assassination. Oscar L. Morris was in his hey-day. He was one of those old-time editors who indeed had printer's ink in his veins. He had been with the paper for many years. His father had once owned part of the newspaper along with the Adkins and Truitt families.
