Retiring 47-Year Banner Employee Alice Harwood Recalls Era

Alice Morrissey Harwood retires after 47 years at The Banner where she began in 1917 for seven dollars a week. She rose to head the business office, reflects on changing staff roles, and recalls era defining events from the old building to the 1961 fire. The piece notes the paper’s closeknit culture, Valentine dances, annual picnics, and peers who moved to prominent posts. It mentions the flood of 1927, the 1961 rebuild, and her late husband Opie Harwood’s role as a sports editor.
