About Me
- Name: BobbaLew
- Location: West Bloomfield, New York, United States
I should explain "Grady" for those of you who accessed this blog from a "Grady’s World" link. "Grady" is the nickname I was given years ago during my earliest days at the Daily Messenger newspaper in Canandaigua. It was given me by Steve Bradley, the long-gone guy who was Sports-Editor at that time. Back then the newspaper was still pasted up — not computerized. The scorebox-page was known as the "agate-page." I didn’t know the priorities at first, and Bradley didn’t consider stroke-addlement anything other than a negative attitude. So when he saw I was doing the agate-page, he’d get angrily frustrated, and make a faint stab at showing me the priorities. ....Which is what I did, but then he’d come over and tear up what I had done — and bellow I hadn’t done as asked. Finally I got mad: "So what do you actually want?" I asked. "Ya tell me how to do it, I do that, and then ya tear up what ya asked for, saying I didn’t do as asked." So Bradley gave me the name "Grady;" mainly as a put-down. "Grady" is the TV-character I look a little like. The "Grady" name stuck, even long after Bradley went elsewhere. It stayed "Grady" until I retired.
