A Fond Rememberance of Daniel J Granaldi Sr by Reldel

Seeing the name Daniel J Granaldi credited for this picture
(a previous post), reminds me of perhaps his father, Daniel J
Granaldi who worked at The Trentonian as night distribution
manager back in the 1970's. Dan was responsible for seeing
that the papers got delivered to the carriers and stores on
time each morning.
He supervised the drivers and "stuffers" who put the inserts
in the newspapers. He was a great old school Chambersburg guy.
He never minced words and worked like crazy each night to get
the job done on time.
I worked on days in Circulation and we would get called in
when there was a "bad" night and papers were late. Usually if
you were need you would get called by Dan at perhaps 4AM. This
one night the phone rang at 1AM and Dan said "Hey get some sleep
I'm going to need you in a bit". I have laughed for years at
getting awakened from sleep to be told to get some sleep.
Never happened, I stayed awake the rest of the night until
I got the second call from Dan. Dan was a great Chambersburg
resident I will always remember and miss.
