Rest in peace Dora Scardina, the heart of the West County Times newsroom

Back in the heyday of West County news, when the West County Times had a building full of news, sports, and business reporters, plus editors, photographers, feature writers, interns, and clerks (plus whole other departments for advertising and circulation) - Dora Scardina was often the first face you saw or the first voice you heard if you contacted the news department. 

Young reporters came and went, but Dora remained a steady presence in the newsroom.

If you worked with her, you heard stories about the history of the paper, about her kids, about her Italian heritage.
