Wow -- that was quick -- only about two weeks. My library takes six weeks to take hold of a new acquisition and place it into my hands.
Hope the book meets your expectations!
You're right, this request arrived
fast. Ordinarily, an interlibrary loan/purchase request here takes about six weeks, as it does for you. A few times my requests took so long to arrive that not only did I forget what I requested, I forgot
that I requested any!
I truly enjoyed your section of
Stooges Among Us. Fellow Stoogeaphiles, read this book! I'm still reading, but so far each section details the search for Stooges in the 1970s, eventual location of them, the correspondence and eventual meeting. Larry and Moe were unfailingly courteous to and interested in their fans. Their appreciation of having fans is obvious. It's heartwarming, too, to read about the interactions between Stooges and HH.
I like the way your father helped you, HiramHorwitz. He sounds like a good egg. I enjoyed seeing all your photos. I like the way you found Joe Besser, Joe DeRita and Emil Sitka, too, It was interesting to read how Diana Serra Cary liked Ted Healy but not The Stooges. I'm guessing TH was always sober when he talked with her. Rose Marie had an interesting story about the name, Curly. It was new to me.
It was very enjoyable and well-written, HH. Thank you for telling us about the book. I rate this book four out of four pies in the face.
