Here is an inspired display of information about Stout and Wolfe from the Gilford, NH, Public Library which ran during the month of February, 2004. The presentation was devised by Debby Montague.  At the Wolfe Pack picnic at Mr. Stout's estate, High Meadow (on 7/13/2003), Debby was the winner of the Best Wolfean Presentation Award.  Debby had a sealed box of Darst Sausages which hissed poison gas when opened. What a way to attract new fans to the corpus!  Thanks, Deb, for sharing! 

Her Gilford Library Display triggered a full-blown article about Nero Wolfe -- Stout's books, the TV series and even a mention of the Wolfe Pack -- in the Sunday New Hampshire Union Leader, which has a circulation of almost 85,000.  The Article is available from their archives or with the full story. The story as originally published also included a picture of the Display.

There was also a spin-off article in the local newspaper, the Weirs Times, which included some of the same information as the Union Leader, but focused on the Hallmark Channel as a 'where do fans go from here' angle. The Weirs Times is distributed on a complimentary basis throughout the Lakes Region of NH. (It's everywhere -- supermarkets, hotels, etc.) Circulation is about 30,000. Their article included three pictures -- one from the 2002 Black Orchid Banquet with Debby, Tina Silber (our reporter in the field), and Rebecca Stout Bradbury, Mr. Stout's daughter.

What a wonderful "P.R." campaign Debby devised. THANKS Debby for your devotion and help!
