Veteran copy desk editor Milt Joffe is, by far, the longest tenured Guild member at The Buffalo News. He started as a reporting intern in 1961 before being hired full time in 1963. He was the youngest copy editor ever to grace the copy desk at age 21 and was named chief copy editor before age 30.
Aside from a brief stint as sports editor from 1977 until 1981, he’s been the dean of News style and a respected mentor to many. We honor him this week. Thanks, Milt!
