|  As
a publisher,
Getler’s no dummy –
but he performs
with one on stage

At the request of his wife, Nancy, Al Getler, publisher
of the Eagle-Tribune, chose a newspaper career over the entertainment
industry, hoping that the former would provide more stability.
Looking back, he laughs, thinking about the careers
of similar performers who have ended up on Comedy Central programs and
on the Las Vegas stage while he and his family have spent a lifetime
bouncing around the Northeast.
“I could have lived in one house my whole life
and not moved once, but instead I ended up moving my family six times,”
Getler said.
The show biz act
that Getler might have made into a career surprises many people who
know him first as a newspaper publisher. He also works as a ventriloquist,
a craft he mastered early in his childhood.
