    A quick question that might take some research…

    There are several “Slide of the Month” articles in the 70’s without a byline. (i.e. “Pedro’s Lucky Shoe” July, 1972, page 51)

    Do you have any idea who authored these segments?

  10. My daughter is a graduate student in Canada and doing research on WWI childhood in Canada. She sent me this link. I used to get this magazine as a boy in Detroit. It is too cool!
