04/08/10 Those Were The Days: Bernie Yudain worked at the New Caanan Advertiser and was paid the princely sum of five cents a column inch

Photo: Mr. Yudain began his journalism career in the middle 1930s writing a New Canaan High School news column for the late John E. Hersam, founder and publisher of the Advertiser. In later years he railed against the editor of that paper, Lew Rowand, for editing his prose.
