Davidson’s first memories with the Dayton Daily News was as an 8-year-old newspaper delivery boy with his older sister in 1944.
He didn’t know it then, Davidson said, but that paper route taught him a lot about hard work, people and their personalities, and even then, his love for reading the daily newspaper. Like many lifelong subscribers, Davidson began reading the paper habitually because of the “funnies,” and occasionally sifting through the sports section while helping his sister on the route. Over time, Davidson began reading the entire paper cover to cover and continues to do so today.
Proud lifelong Trojans, Davidson and his wife, Carol Davidson, live in a pond-side residential neighborhood in Troy. Bruce’s ideal reading spot every morning is on their porch, overlooking the pond and if it’s a Sunday edition of the Dayton Daily News, the Davidson’s children will almost always be at their side for a visit.
