Bruce Farrin is editor for the Rumford Falls Times, serving the River Valley
with the community newspaper since moving to Rumford in 1986. In his early days, before computers, he was responsible for covering town government, police/fire, schools and sports, typed story copy onto special paper, then cut and waxed those articles onto pages by hand before they were prepped for press. He was the darkroom technician as well. Over three-plus decades, he has also been entrusted by locals to share defining moments in their lives, promoted the efforts of people working to improve their community, with his love of photography capturing children and adults at their best. When he's not writing, he's an avid walker, and has a lifetime love of America's pastime, baseball, and the study of statistics, becoming a leader nationally among 30 TPFS dynasty baseball leagues. He is a 1981 graduate of the University of Maine at Orono, with a bachelor's degree in journalism.
