I had a fright that I might have been completely "scooped" on the typing for the dead story when I read your Yost entry on The Classic Typewriter Page, but noted Bob had gone as far as the Yost obituary and Dr Rogers.

I haven't seen the Weekly World News story on the "idea".Robert Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366507489948676594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-5236951779156627522011-06-11T00:40:04.433+10:002011-06-11T00:40:04.433+10:00My goodness, this has got to be your richest and m...My goodness, this has got to be your richest and most impressive blog entry ever! But your limerick's meter is off! :)<br /><br />Just one note for now: I knew Saul Bellow, and took a couple of courses from him when he was teaching at the University of Chicago. He had the art of finding highly original and insightful turns of phrase. It's good to see him at the typewriter.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-55276258639874072052011-06-10T22:53:06.371+10:002011-06-10T22:53:06.371+10:00Gotta lift the standard ... the opposition hasn...Gotta lift the standard ... the opposition hasn't got a ghostly chance :)Robert Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366507489948676594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-45014897093016267292011-06-10T22:06:56.859+10:002011-06-10T22:06:56.859+10:00escalating the limerick wars? ;-]escalating the limerick wars? ;-]notagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915679111849352765noreply@blogger.com
