Title: Thirteen Days of Thayer David
Post by: Gothick on October 16, 2015, 05:12:12 PM: Fans,

The Thayer David Fan Club site on Facebook is launching a "Thirteen Days of Thayer David" tribute tomorrow, Oct. 17. The finale will be "A Dark Shadows Halloween" on Oct.31. The tribute is billed as featuring "super-rare photographs, quotes and memories, exclusive to this site."

The URL for the fan club homepage:

You might be able to see the posts without an account, but I am not sure about this.

It has been really nice to see some attention given to Thayer, finally. A family member (Thayer's nephew, I believe) is involved.

There was an interesting note about the pocket watch Prof. Stokes carried; if I recall correctly, it was a gift to Thayer from a family member when he was very young.

If the 2nd apt. (for books) is true:

a) uh, how many (and, did he have a leaning towards certain genres, including non-fiction)?
b) TWO APTS IN NYC$$$$$???!!!

Thanks for the info my dear.
