Jim Colter Retires from Printing Industry After 59 Years

In 1955, Dwight D. Eisenhower was President, the Korean War had just ended and the Vietnam conflict was on the horizon, and the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the New York Yankees to win the World Series in seven games.

Jim Colter had just graduated from high school and was planning to explore the burgeoning aviation industry as an occupation. But a change of heart put him to work in the printing industry, a 59-year odyssey that ended April 30 when he retired from Colter & Peterson.
