Background
Louis Duino (1907-1997) retired as sports editor of the Mercury News in 1977 after 53 years at the newspaper. He covered the
1960, 1968, and 1972 Olympics for the paper. Golf was his sport of choice -- he started the Mercury's "Golf and Golfers" column
-- and he supplemented his income early in his career by caddying on the weekends. In 1938 he became Sports Editor, and also
wrote his "Louis Duino's Notebook" column until he retired. During World War II Duino also published FMC's newsletter as a
second job.
