The Day The Press Movers Came to the Isle of Printing

Last time I was in Nashville, in the midst of all manner of moving and shaking, I arrived one morning to find that the press movers were (quite by surprise) on their way. A little tense excitement, but these guys are amazing pros. Bob—the main guy—has been moving presses for over 50 years, did it all on his own for years. Now, Bob’s in his 80s and most of the work falls to two younger men and a Tow Motor.
