As a dyed in the wool Marvel fan since the early 60s I recall all those names that made up the Marvel gang - often a big credit box on the inside front cover of the annuals - proclaiming who we had to thank for our monthly flights into Marvel fantasy. My birthday is also March 17th - I'll be thinking of Flo when St Patrick's rolls around next year! Thanks again.Andy Scordellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11548917122752560550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-20394354134862587672017-07-30T09:13:13.453-07:002017-07-30T09:13:13.453-07:00Thanks for the blog.

I sent a, pretty awful drawing(hey, I was 8), of the Human Torch to Marvel and asked for Stan Lee's signature on it I, also, asked for Flo's autograph on it and received the drawing back with both signitures. Very nice memories of those times.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483490849520450768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-37491252263434319442017-07-30T07:32:09.945-07:002017-07-30T07:32:09.945-07:00That was a really nice piece Mike.

Maybe that's a good thing because, not knowing the 'real' person, the Flo that I (and other readers) knew through the comics from the '60s lives on in their pages. May it ever be so.

He explained the family moved so often he couldn't find some books at the PX or wherever we were at the time. And, at the time, Peter Parker (NOT Spidey) was pretty much the only friend that couldn't move away.<br />The note helped him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919304463507337871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-72039424980410166512017-07-28T23:13:59.861-07:002017-07-28T23:13:59.861-07:00A very touching account.
