Second-day story on Standard-Speaker sale to Times-Shamrock

Dave Singleton reports from Hazleton on the announcement to staffers there. Sign of the times: Singleton's story also appeared in the Voice and the Standard-Speaker. The story also includes a worthwhile video of one of the Walser boys making the announcement and of Scott Lynett making some remarks in what looks to be the mailroom in Hazleton.

The most interesting thing in this brief history of the Standard-Speaker is that the fourth generation of Walser family ownership only lasted five years. Beware, Lynetts.

"Why is this happening?" The young Lynetts and Walsers ask in a joint letter in the Standard-Speaker. "Because it is time." I wonder what old man Walser has to say.

Scott Lynett tells an unidentified S-S reporter that there are no plans to fold the paper into a larger NEPA paper or anything like that
