Could C.P. be Cappy Pottle? Could Norm be Norma Hansburg or, perhaps, Norm, from Cheers?? Forgive me, Cappy and Norma...I just couldn't resist!! Seriously, Linda, this has the makings of a great, solvable mystery. Got any plausible answers yet??? Paula ----Original Message Follows---- Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2006 17:49:29 -0600 From: falkora@xxxxxxxx Subject: Goldbecker and Hart book I have a copy of the 1955 Goldbecker & Hart book, and it has a very interesting notation on the back fly leaf: "Norm I would like a 'great' German Shepard- I'll bring 'one' back from Wiesbaden next month- you'll help me pick him out. I Love You! C.P." That must mean both of them were going to Germany. Does anyone have any idea who "Norm" and "C.P." might be? I am guessing that this was written in the book fairly soon after it was published. I bought the book in a used book store in St.Paul about 25 years ago. -- Linda Kofstad "We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
