Dean Coombs, a 70-year-old living in the rural Colorado town of Saguache, wasn't able to work remotely during the pandemic.
Every day, for the last two decades, Coombs has woken up with the sun and gone into a small, cluttered office on Saguache’s main street. He sits among thousands of metal parts as one of the country’s last linotype newspaper publishers.
In 1917, Coombs' family purchased the Saguache Crescent, a newspaper that has been around since the 1870s. It serves the sprawling, yet intimate rural county of Saguache, Colorado. There have been mechanical problems. After all, a machine built in the early 20th Century does not operate flawlessly. There have been frustrations, like when the linotype’s gears started leaking a few years ago and Coombs could not operate the machine for five days. Instead, he relied on the shop’s older linotype machine which is rarely used.
“You know, I just have a commitment to doing the job at hand. I wouldn’t say that I’m a spartan or anything, but I keep at it, just like what you have to do with about anything,” he said.
