Many will remember our August speaker, Harry Levins, for bringing us many hours of pleasurable reading with his stories on historical events and military affairs, as well as engaging book reviews in the Post-Dispatch. Levins, 67 (could be a FYCer!), retired in 2007 after 36 years with the Post. After graduating from the University of Vermont in 1963, he began his newspaper career at his hometown paper, the Rutland (Vt.) Daily Herald. He left late that fall for a two-year stint as an Army lieutenant, spending most of his hitch in Germany, as an infantry platoon leader. Late in 1965, Levins returned to Rutland as city editor. In 1969, he moved to Long Island’s Newsday as a copy editor. Two years later, he came to St. Louis. At the Post-Dispatch, he held a variety of jobs on the paper’s copy, wire and city desks. At the time he retired, he was the paper’s senior writer, specializing in military matters.
