I knew a little about the newsboys from reading I have done but this really told the true story. The pictures kind of reminded me of "Spanky and the Gang" with Alfalfa. I look forward to your posts and agree with everyone else that you should publish a book. I look forward to more!Teresa Wilson Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340825601857084302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-73512277609898569402012-11-19T11:35:40.669-05:002012-11-19T11:35:40.669-05:00P.S.

I learn something new every time, and come away feeling the better for it.<br /><br />I was truly curious to see what this philanthropist, Gunckel looked like and I found this link:<br /><br />http://www.toledosattic.org/index.php/essays-menu/ess-organizations-menu/101-essays-cat/ess-biography-cat2/102-ess-gunckel<br /><br />I saw the movie, "Newsies" (with a young Christian Bale) a long time ago and I understand it's been turned into a Broadway show recently. I can't recall whether it was about the Gunckel newsboys, but I bet it was!<br /><br />Your "all-season" son comment made me think of Harry Chapin.

I always thought delivering papers was a good job for a kid, but anymore it's rather dangerous being out so early in the morning. It seems always to have been a dangerous job, judging by this post. I appreciate how you always show how music elevates the lives of the down-trodden whether they're convicts, prisoners of war, orphans, or street urchins.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-68653084769471291992012-11-19T06:02:23.408-05:002012-11-19T06:02:23.408-05:00Some of my favourite moments have been after a rea...Some of my favourite moments have been after a really nice meal with fascinating friends talking about all the things that interest me and suddenly the bottle of rare single malt whisky comes out and I settle down to the crowning glory of the evening.

I agree that you should publish.<br /><br />I'm still partial too your fictional tale of the steamboat musicians - http://temposenzatempo.blogspot.com/2011/09/show-boat-band.html. Objectivity may be a bit of a problem as that story was set so close to my home. But, I would also love to see a book of short fiction! :)Liz Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355785887810653358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-20603148584456718652012-11-18T13:13:02.432-05:002012-11-18T13:13:02.432-05:00Fascinating stuff Mike.
