No, it does not.

I realize we have discussed a lot of topics since 2012, but he definitely has to do with a topic specifically discussed on this forum.

I can see that my clues are not working. The answer is James Redpath who probably (but not for certain) was the ghostwriter for Elizabeth Keckly's book. My clue of Casper was admittedly a stretch. I was hoping folks would think of "ghost" and then "connect" that somehow with the lengthy discussion we've been having on Keckly's ghostwritten book. Most sources I've seen identify Redpath as the likely ghostwriter. Steve got the answer right in an email to me, but he's having problems with his computer and could not post it.

OMG - my first response offered three choices, and the first was The Friendly Ghost; I went with the third choice instead. Don't know how friendly Redpath was. Tricky, but excellent, post Roger.

Thank you! (I was prepared to take some grief for my "Casper" hint)

Who or what is Caper now?

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-22-2017 06:02 PM

Casper was my daughter's favorite cartoon character when she was about 4 years old. Here is some information on Casper:

Thanks - since there's no German Wiki site I assume it wasn't broadcasted here. (I think there was mainly Sesame Street when I was 4.)

I was more of a Wendy, the Good Little Witch girl.
