When did Bill begin working for the paper?

Bill Grant was a famous newspaper editor in the United States. He worked for the same newspaper from 1926 to 1968.
   When the first news of the stock market crash came into the office, Bill immediately sat down and wrote up the story. The editor liked it so much that he used the story. And he didn’t make any changes in it. After that the editor decided Bill should be a writer.
   After this first story Bill became especially interested in financial news. But he wrote stories on just about everything. In 1945 he spent five months in Europe. His editor had decided he should write about the end of World War II. His paper was the smallest one with a writer in Europe.
   One of Bill’s greatest moments came in 1946, a story he had written on war won the National Newspaperman’s Award. Bill took the prize but he gave all the praise to his editor.
   It was just before Christmas in 1967 that he learned he had cancer. Six months later he was dead. But he never stopped his work as an editor. The day before he died he had spent a full day at the office.
