Why No Captain Penny?





So I've been asked why I've stopped talking about Captain Penny, Franz the Woodsman, Barnaby and that whole lot.

Simple really, somebody paid me to do something else. A publisher I've worked with in the past asked me write and archive a book on Modern Akron (1960 til now), and I took them up on it. Now that doesn't mean I've lost interest in children's show hosts in Northeast Ohio. I have a great interview with Barnaby's daughter, as well as some other really fun interviews, that I will use in the future.

Frankly though the interest I hoped to generate just didn't happen. I was really surprised that so many people were members of these folks facebook pages but showed no interest in talking about them.

I'll get back to it though, why wouldn't I? Captain Penny is still important to me.
