Donald Sobol, the creator of...

...Encyclopedia Brown, died at age 87.

The first book in the series, Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective (above), was published in 1963. Sobol ended up writing 28 in all.

I think I read one or two (or a dozen) of these to my boys when they were growing up.

    As far as I can tell, both of you ( and me as well ) are boring old white guys for Obama. I enjoy both of your blogs.

    Great minds think alike, I guess...
