Here’s the next installment in our continuing series of republished “Otto’s Night Watch” columns written by Otto Boutin, which appeared monthly several decades ago in Printing Impressions. In this week’s short story, Otto reconnects with Speedy Smith, a former workaholic employer whose life revolved solely around running his business. He found that Speedy Smith's philosophy about life and the meaning of happiness — after consultation with a psychiatrist — had changed quite drastically from when Otto last saw him.
