I was born in Two Rivers…
I was born in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, but my family moved to California about 6 months later. Whenever the topic of Two Rivers comes up, it results in a groan from my parents that indicates that it was not necessarily their favorite or the many cities they moved around to over the years. So tonight at dinner, I start telling my parents “Hey, did you happen to know that there is a place in Two Rivers called the Hamilton Type Museum that is a bit of a mecca for type nerds?”. I intended to go on about their wood type collection, thinking that they would be all surprised about this information, but instead I am interrupted with the information that my Dad was THE PRESIDENT of Hamilton Manufacturing Company and that is why we were living in Two Rivers at the time of my birth! Apparently he used to have a whole drawer of wood type as a parting gift, but it is believed to have been lost in subsequent moves. I suppose I was always destined to be a type nerd.
