I can help anyone with information about Logan Forster; he lived with my family when I was young. He dedicated a book to my mom... He was an avid actor, as was my mom, in the Nomad Players in Boulder, Colorado. Yes, born in Salem. He was also a good artist. Very fun, eccentric, flamboyant person.

I'm rather smitten with #6349. She reminds me of the horse I was assigned at summer camp (the only two weeks of horseback riding I've ever done).AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077988599467518893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609001996482522007.post-74493359097950474792010-06-10T17:52:57.702-04:002010-06-10T17:52:57.702-04:00Oh, cool, calling Sam Savitt!

It's right up there with a recent front-page picture of an oil-soaked pelican in my mind of the cruelties that people can inflict...fortunately, burrowing further into a newspaper, one can find uplifting tales as well to take a bit of the sting out. I loved that you posted a pic of that old Black Beauty record on the other page--I had that as a kid too, or one like it--I remember they used a whinny to mark the page turn; my sibs and I always manipulated the needle on the record player to try to get just the whinny and play it again and again, thinking we could fool the neighbors into thinking we had a horse...<br /><br />What a funny title of this book--"Strange Son of Desert Storm"! Imagine calling a kids' book starring a physically disabled character anything with "strange" in it. <br /><br />I used to work for the company that published this--NOT in 1959, wasn't born yet :) They're out of business now (I guess for the past 20 years). Best part of that job? THe day the children's book editor asked me to call Sam Savitt for her. He was SO nice to this little nobody editorial assistant.Christina Wilsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472802098557216513noreply@blogger.com
