January 8, 1891 - April 18, 1992
San Francisco Chronicle (CA) - Tuesday, April 21, 1992
Rose Glavinovich, a reporter who covered Berkeley for the Oakland Tribune for 42 years, died Saturday night at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley at the age of 101.
Ms.
Glavinovich was born in San Francisco and moved to the East Bay after
the 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed the family home.
Her
first newspaper job was as a society reporter with the old Berkeley
Gazette. She moved to the Tribune's Berkeley bureau in 1919, where she
covered police news, the courts, the university campus and general city
affairs until her retirement in 1961.
Ms.
Glavinovich was known to instill fear in young reporters entrusted to
her care. Those who passed muster called themselves ''Rose's
Boys.'' There are no immediate survivors.
