Greg Weinman and his grandfather bought newspapers whenever there was a big story, and now he's giving them away.
At his Crofton, Md., home, Greg Weinman, 54, holds a paper reporting the death of Babe Ruth. It was the favorite paper collected by his grandfather during decades of saving papers with significant headlines during his travels around the United States. By Tara Bahrampour Tara Bahrampour Reporter focusing on aging, generations and demography Email Bio Follow May 7 at 8:32 AM Greg Weinman stood in his Crofton, Md., basement and gingerly unfolded a brittle, yellowed page of the Toledo Times.
These newspapers, and thousands more, have been part of Weinman’s life for as long as he can remember. In the 1920s, his grandfather, Myer Weinman, a Toledo native who worked for a company that ran department store watch-repair counters around the country, started purchasing a newspaper whenever big news occurred, wherever he happened to be.
“I think he saw them as little time capsules,” he said. “He was a storyteller. He used to teach me history through the papers. … He would show me different papers and talk about bias. How the headline of one paper was different from the headline of another. They don’t all have the same point of view.”
“I don’t know what I thought the endgame was going to be; I think collections are like that. But they were so fun, so meaningful, I thought I’d keep them for my children, my grandchildren and so forth.”
