Laura was also lucky enough to meet Stephen, Michael and Christopher Gann whose family has run a printing business in the Pearl District since the turn of the century. Laura mainly went to watch them operate their 4 Heidelberg Windmills, and observe the mysteries of foil stamping and die cutting... but after a while she realized that it was a treasure trove of printing history. They have the most amazing collection of advertising cuts from the NW Region. Meeting the Gann's was worth not having my press work. (and yes, chiclets were made in their building)
