Do you know why Sandburg disliked Beveridge's book?
Sorry to hear about your medical episode.

I'm sorry to hear about your medical episode as well. I hope you're doing better now.

Thank you gentlemen. I definitely feel better, but just wish the doctor had a more concrete diagnosis. In 58 years on this earth this is the first time I ever passed out. I hope it doesn't happen again for another 58 years!
Gene, there is a letter in Sandburg's papers written to Beveridge that was never sent. In it he talks about something he was told that Beveridge supposedly said about him that was very critical, although Sandburg doesn't elaborate. I have a basset hound on my lap right now, or I could find the letter. In Beveridge's Wikipedia page it says that after Beveridge died his widow gave Sandburg his research material, which is absolutely untrue given how each man felt about the other. Also, Worthington C. Ford would have needed the material in order to finish Beveridge's book.

No Googling, please.
What are Carl and Paula Sandburg doing in this photo?

"acting" out a famous painting ... not so famous though that I can name it or the artist. Renaissance I guess and religious ...

Great guess Mike, but not correct.

Clue #1.
That Sandburg was here seems odd.

I, for one, am still totally blank on this, Rob.
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 08-26-2022 07:26 PM
I made a mistake in the clue numbering. This is actually the third clue.
This meeting happened in the early 1960s.
Also, when I said no Googling, I meant the photo. You can search for anything else but it.

anything to do with the Pulitzer Prize?
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 08-26-2022 09:48 PM
Nope Gene, nothing to do with the Pulitzer.

Frustrating because I'm sure Ive seen it sometime before.
I am guessing its from the set of a film production?
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Gene C - 08-27-2022 07:45 AM
Sandburg worked on the movie "The Greatest Story Ever Told"
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - AussieMick - 08-27-2022 08:02 AM
Ah. That rings a bell, Gene.
