$25 Sale - Odd Dog
I have copies from three distinct printings of this 1978 book published by the Olympia School District for early readers. Odd Dog can be counted among Morty the Dog's ancestors. This book has not been fully scanned and posted on this blog.
For some reason my memory tells me this was drawn in 1976, but the 1978 date is on all three printings here.
Mimeograph edition: I have two copies. Mimeo guts, cardstock blue cover.
Light Blue edition: Photocopy. Light blue cover, regular stock
Blue edition: Photocopy. Cardstock blue cover.
All copies are in fair shape. Copies of the Blue ed. have obviously been in the hands of little readers, but they have survived pretty well.
Regular digest size (letter size, folded).
Please specify which edition you would like when ordering.
$25 each, ppd.

Goodbye Neil
When Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon in 1969, I wasn't glued to the television. I was camping, sitting by a campfire on a starlit night, staring at Luna in total wonder and amazement, knowing people were up there. The launch of Sputnik, the first satellite, had only been less than a dozen years before, so the enormous technological strides to achieve this goal in such a short time was truly impressive. As Neil said, this really was a giant leap for mankind.
1000 years from now, probably the only event of our time that will earn a notch on any chronology will be the 1st Moon landing in 1969. Real heroes are hard to come by. Neil Armstrong was a real hero.

A bumper sticker for Washington State Gov. Al Rosellini's 1960 or 1964 re-election campaigns. This was given to me by my old friend Rex Munger a few years ago.
