21 September 25

Where's Waldo? This is the 38th anniversary of the publication of the first Where's Waldo book (Where's Wally? in Britain), by Martin Handford. Martin's birthday can be found soon (27 September, 1956). I'm including a amusing cartoon that arrived yesterday, and a minimally challenging fragment from a page in "Where's Waldo Now?".

21 September is the United Nations International Day of Peace. (Most of Waldo's adventures are peaceful though chaotic.) It also marks the birthday of Beth's great-grandfather Frederick George Wollenweber (1846-1928), and yesterday marked the birthday of my own great-grandfather Jeremiah Wilson Kleppinger (1854-1931).

Where's Waldo? All over my tie! The first "Where's Waldo?" book was published on 21 September 1987 -- titled "Where's Wally?" in Great Britain. And Martin Handford, Waldo/Wally's creator, was bon on 27 September 1956. This wonderful tie came to me from the collection of my EKU comrade Richard Day, who wore it when he was an elementary school principal to the great amusement of his teachers and students.

The white and bright red bands in my hair tie are intended to match up with Waldo's stocking hat.
