Hi, Alan!
Unfortunately, I believe it was in the Post. We subscribed to the Post, but
often bought the Sunday Chronicle also. Still, I think it was the Post. (So
does Mama.)
I wish I could remember about when it was published.... I believe perhaps
1967. I was not yet in junior high school.
I don't remember an author, but the main character was a little girl named
"Shy".
What happens to the old records of now-defunct newspapers? Do you think the
Houston Library would have everything on film/fiche/whatever?
Thank you for your help!
Vicki
