Linda,

Your project sounds so interesting! It’s historical research on a personal level. I’m sure you’re finding all sorts of cool stuff, and I’m looking forward to exploring your blog. When you go to the Fashion Friday: Fan post, you can either click on the title (to make sure you’re in the actual archive rather than the blog feed), or you can click on the black bubble in the upper right, next to the post title – that’s the number of comments so far for that post, and it should open up the comments section. Sorry it was giving you trouble, and thanks so much for checking out my site!

ear Kathy,
I found your fascinating site through Perry Block, who started following my tweets. So what’s the first post I see — a guest post by Elisabeth Craig, whom I started following a couple months ago — and admire as much as you. I find your post topics engaging and clever. I’m a history buff too — but my blog is focused on family history — and the mysteries and secrets I’m unraveling as I decipher and translate old documents. I hope you’ll drop by. BTW, I wanted to make a comment on your hanky-panky post, but couldn’t find the “comments” button to click. Am I missing something or has it disappeared? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing that information, Andy! My husband was a big fan of the Happy Hollisters. Glad to see the series is enjoying a resurgence. So glad you stopped by.

Hi there! I read your blog entry about Nancy Drew and the Stratemeyer Syndicate and wanted to introduce myself. My grandfather, Andrew Svenson, wrote the Happy Hollisters — another Stratemeyer mystery series for children — under the pseudonym Jerry West. The Hollister children were patterned on his own children: my father, aunts, and uncles.

I thought you might be interested in some exciting news! We’ve heard from many fans over the years who have fond memories of the wholesome Hollister family and their exciting adventures. Many fans want to share the stories with their children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, but don’t want to give up their collectors’ editions. We have just released paperback and eBook versions of the first three books in the series, The Happy Hollisters, The Happy Hollisters on a River Trip, and The Happy Hollisters at Sea Gull Beach. The stories are identical to the originals, with family-friendly dialogue and charming illustrations.

If you’d like to learn more about this new edition, and see pictures of the “real” Hollister family, please visit our website: http://www.TheHappyHollisters.com or join our Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Happy-Hollisters/33291503077

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Andrew E. Svenson III
