At the age of eight, Headspeth started working with his uncle in the newspaper business. Headspeth remembers the paper office being filled with activity and visitors, mainly veterans visiting his grandfather.
"Most days were spent entertaining, and evenings were spent working," he recalls.
The South Boston News was at first set in foundry type and in later years in a Linotype Junior, which Headspeth remembers as being similar to a standard linotype, except the mats moved along wires of different lengths, instead of down channels as on later models.
