Autographs

I have in my scrapbook some autographs that I got in Lawrence, Kansas when they had a premire. I think I have John Wayne, Roy Rodgers, Gabby Hayes and Walter Pedgion. I know from other occasions I have Shirley Temple and Charles Sheldon (He founded my church in Topeka), My husband did not let any of us to ask for autographs. He himself asked for some. He maintained authors like to autograph books and he had many writer friends, Those books have autographs. He had a good friend that wrote a funny book and worked at the K C Star so when his book was published the fellow writers retired to a bar to celebrate the occasion. Ray took his copy and then turned it over and moved the cover to the back and him sign again so he thought Ray bought two copies. My daughter Sally has it now as I did not want it to get thrown away ever. I know the only pictures we have with an autographs are Richard Nixon. Walt Disney and I think Robert Kennedy. (I am not sure about that one). There may be others on the shelf above the washer and dryer but from a wheel chair I cannot check. I know when he wrote a book he loved to have people ask him to autograph them. He loved to take us with him on assignments of famous people but just wanted us to look at them.
