Tribute to Michael H. Bruno, Upon His Passing, Paid by Frank Ro

Over the last few years I had him write his autobiography, which will be published in 2006 as "Mike Bruno's History of Printing in the 20th Century." For it, 165 of his slides are being scanned by students at RIT. He loved jazz and dancing, but every conversation would always turn to printing.

Mike was a kind and gentle man who was passionate about printing and the people who produce it. When he moved from New Hampshire, he gave me his library and almost all the awards he had won--hundreds of them. But the one memorial that is greater than all of them is the American Printing Industry in the 20th Century. He can take credit for having helped to create and nurture it.
