Thanksgiving Thoughts & Traditions
Although there are many discrepancies about what went on, who attended, and what they ate, most people agree the first Thanksgiving was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. I find it interesting that this famous Currier & Ives Lithograph along with the popular tune of "Over the River and Through the Wood," both created in the mid 1800s, also had roots in Massachusetts.
Over the River and Through the Wood
By Lydia Maria Child
Over the river and through the wood,
To Grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the wood,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes,
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground,
Like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving-Day.
Over the river and through the wood,
And straight through the barnyard gate!
We seem to go
Extremely slow,
It is so hard to wait!
Over the river and through the wood;
Now Grandmother's cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
Lydia Maria Francis Child, born in Medford, Massachusetts (February 11, 1802 – October 20, 1880), was an American abolitionist, women's rights activist, opponent of American expansionism, Indian rights activist, novelist, and journalist. Here she is in 1870 reading a book.
Currier and Ives was a successful American printmaking firm headed by Nathaniel Currier (1813–1888) born in Roxbury, Massachusetts and James Merritt Ives (1824–1895) of New York. Currier & Ives produced at least 7,500 lithographs during its seven decades. Artists created two to three new images every week on lithographic stones. The images were printed in black and white and then colored by hand in assembly-line fashion, with each worker applying one color. Currier & Ives sold more than a million prints, through peddlers, pushcart vendors and bookstores, through the mail and through an international office in London.
In Amy's Choice, Amy teaches her friends how to make turkey apples to start off their traditional Thanksgiving celebration. Shown below are a few turkeys the kids in my family made to decorate our Thanksgiving table one year. Any holiday traditions going on in your house?
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Art Around Town
As you may have noticed from earlier posts, art has always been a big part of my life, so it's no surprise that a painter plays an important role in Amy's Choice (sequel to Call Me Amy is now available!).
Art is everywhere and sometimes where you least expect it. Over the last few years, amazing shoes have popped up all over my city to celebrate its shoe industry history. Some of the newer shoes also serve as benches, like this one which stands in front of the elementary school my children attended.
I love this scholarly lion!
Downtown there are gorgeous murals and twice I've run into displays of giant dog sculptures on the common.
Do you have interesting outdoor art where you live?
Release Day Signing
A huge thank you to everyone who came out yesterday during heavy downpours to get a copy of Amy's Choice. Even all of you who didn't make the pictures, I remember and appreciate your support. If it weren't for readers like you, there'd be no books. :)
Best of luck to those who entered yesterday's blog contest to win a Visa card or books. I'll take entries through Nov. 9th and then draw winners that day. To enter contest, please click here.
Frost in Fall
October by Robert Frost (from A Boy's Will, 1915)
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes' sake along the wall.
Two of my favorite songs to listen to in October are Moondance by Van Morrison and Harvest Moon by Neil Young–click on the song titles to watch & enjoy!
The Woodshed
'They' say "write what you know." So, it's not surprising that a woodshed appears in the Amy books. Some woodsheds are quite simple with just an overhang to keep firewood and kindling dry, but others are more like little cottages. My favorite woodshed was built in 1900. Located in a small fishing village on the coast of Maine, the woodshed is shown in these pictures behind the main house. I don't know what's inside now, but there used to be an antique wood-burning stove and a work bench covered with fascinating tools and wood shavings. One of the features I liked best about this particular woodshed was a built-in ladder that brought only the bravest explorers up through a squishy entry to an almost-secret top floor.
Find out how a woodshed features in the sequel to Call Me Amy. Amy's Choice will be available November 1st!
Novel Revision Retreat
First, another interview about the Amy books to share. Click here for Marcia Meara's popular Bookin' It blog.
This past weekend I returned to Rolling Ridge for my second Novel Revision Retreat. My first time was four years ago when I was still polishing Call Me Amy. Darcy Pattison is the wise instructor at the helm of these nation-wide workshops. This particular retreat (along with two other workshops) was organized by author Anne Broyles.
Rolling Ridge, a 40 room Georgian estate on Lake Cochichewick is located in Massachusetts. There are 38 acres of woods, water views, and rolling hills.
There were only ten of us this time, but along with Massachusetts commuters, participants came from Arkansas, Kansas, Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia.
The dining room is filled with local art and water views. Delicious meals accommodated many special requests from gluten-free to vegan.
There was quite a bit of work beforehand to prepare for the retreat. For example, each person read all the full novel drafts of everyone else in their group. Here's my group:
After lunch I took a walk around the grounds and was excited to come across a lone red wheelbarrow (we had just discussed William Carlos Williams' poem about plums earlier that same morning).
It wasn't long before I spotted several kayakers paddling smoothly across the lake.
All in all a very successful retreat and I recommend these workshops for anyone who wants to work hard at making their novels shine.
Cootie Catchers
First I'd like to share a new interview that ran the other day. Dani Duck: Artist Obscure asks some fun questions in her interviews with "some of the best children's authors and illustrators of our time." Interview with Marcia.
Second, let's make cootie catchers! In Amy's Choice, Amy learns how to make these origami-style fortune tellers from her new best friend Cat. Amidst laughter and popcorn, they use the cootie catchers to help Amy make some important choices.
Step 1: Using a square sheet of paper, bring two diagonal corners exactly together. Crease. Unfold and repeat with the remaining two corners. Crease again.
Step 2: Fold each outside point precisely into the center.
Step 3: Without unfolding, flip the square over. Once again, fold all four outside points into the center.
Step 4: Fold it in half. Unfold and then fold it in half the other way.
Now you get to make up the words for your cootie catcher. Following the example, you can add colors to four squares and numbers to the eight triangles. For the remaining eight spots, I used simple answers, but you might want to write fortunes instead, such as: 'Tomorrow will be your lucky day! or "Mail is on the way!
After you've filled it in, refold the catcher. Stick your thumbs and first two fingers into the four bottom pockets and then squeeze them up into the points to open and close. The first player chooses one of the outside colors. If it's red, for example, open the catcher three times, once for each letter. (Up and down, side to side, up and down.) Next, they get to pick a number. For five, open and close five times. Then have them choose a last number and either ask a question or wait for a fortune—open, close, open, close as many times as required. If they ask, will it rain tomorrow and under the final flap it says: no way, then you're both all set to play outside with your new cootie catchers!
Book Picks
I thought you might enjoy these new children's books I've recently come across. They range from picture book through young adult.
THERE WAS A WEE LASSIE WHO SWALLOWED A MIDGIE by Rebecca Colby * In this hilarious twist on the much-loved rhyme, the wee lassie swallows a succession of Scotland's favourite creatures to catch that pesky midge — including a puffin, a Scottie dog, a seal, and even Nessie! After all that, she can't still be hungry. Can she? Kate McLelland's funny, engaging illustrations bring to life this uniquely Scottish version of a classic rhyme.
MISS DOROTHY-JANE WAS EVER SO VAIN by Julie Fulton * This is the third book in the charming Ever So Series. Miss Dorothy-Jane thinks her good looks and stylish clothes make her popular.

Wonderful illustrations by Jona Jung.

As Minty tries to rescue her dog from drowning she ends up fighting for her life. Will Minty survive? If she doesn't, how will Jess cope without her? Only the stormy sea has the answer. Mystical and memorable!

Rodgers Memorial Library Celebration
I had a wonderful time participating in the 5th Anniversary Celebration of the Rodgers Memorial Library's new building.
The day was filled with music, crafts, clowns, face painting, book talk and–because of the annual cupcake contest–tons of cupcakes!
Porch Musings
My porch looked particularly inviting yesterday. Only trouble was it was time for me to leave for my library job. So…I snapped a picture instead. Do you have a favorite place to write, or read, or sit, or dream? My question makes me think of this poem, sung by Bilbo in The Fellowship of the Ring. What a perfect response–anyone else?
I Sit And Think
I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair.
I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see.
For still there are so many things that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring there is a different green.
I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago,
and people who will see a world that I shall never know.
But all the while I sit and think of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet and voices at the door.
© J. R. R. Tolkien
Fancy Nancy Tea Party
Miss Patty is the children's librarian at the public library where I work. On the day before Mother's Day, she hosted a Fancy Nancy-style tea party. Here she is serving lemonade:
So many pretty dresses!
There's always time to sneak in some reading:
Everyone enjoyed sipping lemonade, and nibbling on pretty sandwiches and cookies.
Sharing secrets and saying cheers! to a toast:
Then came crafts: high-heel cupcakes, tiaras, and more!
Maybe it's time to check out your own local library. If it's anything like ours, there will be lots of fun programs for all ages.
YAY for Fancy Nancy and Miss Patty!
NESCBWI Spring Conference
I thoroughly enjoyed the 28th annual New England Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators conference. The conference was held at the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel in Springfield, MA on the banks of the Connecticut River.
There is an abundance of knowledge at these conferences, being that there are about 2,300 members in the New England chapter. Each year the spring conference sells out quickly to more than 600 participants.
On Saturday, the keynote speaker was Peter H. Reynolds–award-winning author & illustrator of The North Star, The Dot and Ish. "How to Extract a Fable," was a moving, thoughtful address on making the world a more creative place.
There were many workshops on craft, along with expert panels. The picture below shows John Bell moderating a panel of agents (Sara Crowe, Mandy Hubbard, Emily Mitchell, and Kathleen Rushall) on "Publishing In and Out of New York."
Throughout the weekend, in the ballroom, two giant screens featured new titles. Look who's on the screen below: :)
Previously, I volunteered for about a decade when the conference was held in New Hampshire. After being away for several years, it was so much fun to attend again this year.
World Book Night 2014
Tomorrow, April 23rd, is World Book Night. (Freebie at the end of this post.) Here's more about the program from their website: World Book Night is an annual celebration dedicated to spreading the love of reading, person to person. Each year on April 23, tens of thousands of people go out into their communities and give half a million free World Book Night paperbacks to light and non-readers.
World Book Night is about giving books and encouraging reading in those who don't regularly do so. But it is also about more than that: It's about people, communities and connections, about reaching out to others and touching lives in the simplest of ways—through the sharing of stories.
World Book Night is a nonprofit organization. They exist because of the support of thousands of book givers, booksellers, librarians, and financial supporters who believe in our mission. Successfully launched in the U.K. in 2011, World Book Night was first celebrated in the U.S. in 2012.
An independent panel of booksellers and librarians selects the books, using lists curated by experts in the bookselling and library world. All of the information comes from external, independent sources.
This year I'll be giving out Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. If you haven't already read it, or seen the movie, here's a short synopsis:
Jess Aaron's greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. He's been practicing all summer and can't wait to see his classmates' faces when he beats them all. But on the first day of school, a new kid, a new girl, boldly crosses over to the boy's side of the playground and outruns everyone.
That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. It doesn't matter to Jess that Leslie dresses funny, or that her family has a lot of money — but no TV. Leslie has imagination. Together, she and Jess create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only limits. Then one morning a terrible tragedy occurs. Only when Jess is able to come to grips with this tragedy does he finally understand the strength and courage Leslie has given him.

April in England
"Oh, to be in England now that April's there." —Robert Browning
I thought I'd do a bit of armchair traveling today. A few years ago, when my son was studying at Oxford, I visited England in April. We saw all the London sights, enjoyed plenty of banoffee pie, visited the haunts of Dickens, Keats, Lewis, Barrie, Carroll, and Tolkien, and took the Chunnel to Paris. But nothing compared to the beauty of April in England. Kensington Gardens, Hampstead Heath, Kew Gardens, and Oxford, all in full bloom, are unforgettable.
I don't know the men in the photographs below, one in Hampstead Heath, the other in Oxford, but don't they look like they are thinking grand thoughts?

Ahead of La Liga's title decider on Saturday, we compare the talents of Lionel Messi and Diego Costa.
Football Betting
Bet £5 Get £20 Free
After Real Madrid surrendered any hope of claiming the Primera Liga following their 2-0 defeat to Celta Vigo last weekend, the fate of the title will be decided on Saturday when Barcelona face top-of-the-table Atletico Madrid, live on Sky Sports.
A monumental encounter awaits at Camp Nou and key to deciding the game's outcome will be which of Barca's Lionel Messi and Atletico's Diego Costa are at the peak of their powers.
Both players have scored invaluable goals this season, and Saturday's match will almost certainly see the pair play key roles.
Both players started the 2013/14 La Liga season in devastating fashion. Messi, predictably, started the season with aplomb and fired in six goals in the opening three games - including a first-half hat-trick away to Valencia. In a frighteningly quick start to the campaign, September saw Messi make it eight goals in six games at Almeria - playing a neat one-two with Pedro before curling a wonderful strike into the top left corner. He would, however, have to wait for just over four months until his next La Liga goal as injury interrupted his campaign. In February, a penalty in their 3-2 home loss to Valencia triggered the return of Messi - which included a hat-trick in successive games in March against Osasuna and fierce rivals Real Madrid. Still trailing Cristiano Ronaldo by three goals in the scoring charts, Messi's return of 28 goals is an extraordinary feat considering his four-month drought. However, Costa is hot on the Argentine's heels in the scoring charts.
The Atletico striker has been a measure of consistency throughout this season, bagging 27 goals in 33 appearances while remaining relatively injury-free. Many expected Atletico's title challenge to falter, but Costa's goals have given Diego Simeone's side the monumental opportunity of lifting their first league trophy since 1996. The Brazilian-born Spaniard scored a hugely important winner at the Bernabeu in September - a goal that began the loosening of Barca and Real's stranglehold on La Liga.
During a nervy March for los Rojiblancos, Costa bagged the winner in three of their games - applying more pressure on Carlo Ancelotti and Tata Martino as Simeone's underdogs fought their way to the top. This weekend gives the 25-year-old, who has contributed to 36% of Atletico's goal tally, the opportunity to overtake Messi in the scoring charts while claiming his first La Liga title.
All-round play
Messi hasn't won four Ballon d'Ors on goals alone - it's also recognition for his overall input to his team. So far this season, the Argentine has laid on ten assists for his teammates while creating 2.5 key passes on average per game - helping the Catalans to an enormous tally of 99 goals in the league. Despite an injury-ravaged campaign, Messi has showed no signs of slouching and has amassed 138 successful dribbles over the year, averaging out at 4.6 game - only bettered by Granada's Yacine Brahimi. Along with his natural goalscoring talents is a willingness to help out his teammates - the true mark of a world class footballer.
Costa is unquestionably the more 'out-and-out' striker of the two, but he's still shown an unselfish side to his play. The Atletico forward filled in as an attacking midfielder on numerous occasions during his earlier days at the Vicente Calderon, where he helped to provide ammunition for star striker Radamel Falcao. Now that Costa is the main man, his playmaker-tendencies are still clear to see. On average he makes 1.3 key passes per game, most of them towards his strike partner David Villa - the recipient of two assists from Costa. His home form is formidable and has completed 2.4 dribbles at the Calderon, a record that betters Gareth Bale's. Displaying a penchant for creativity, the Spanish international has shown a selfless streak throughout this season - something that Barcelona will be wary of.
Team importance
Messi's value to Barcelona is huge - with his 28 league goals contributing to 28% of their goal tally. Leading into Saturday's game, the Argentine has won 21 of his 30 league games at a win rate of 70% - with fans labelling the overreliance on their striker as 'Messidependencia', leading Spanish journalist Ramon Besa to note in El Pais: "Let's not debate Messidependencia anymore. His mere presence is enough. One day, a cardboard cutout of Messi will win a match." Interestingly enough, in the seven games that Messi missed through injury, Barca's win rate rocketed up to 85.7% whilst their average goals scored tally was boosted up to 2.9 per game. Seven games, however, is not enough to suggest Barca are better off without their talisman. Unfortunately for their fans, a cardboard cutout won't be enough to outwit a clever Atletico side but as seen on many an occasion, his presence is enough to inspire his teammates to victory.
Costa has only been absent for three La Liga games this year, and Simeone has desperately missed the 25-year-old's goal scoring threat during that time. Notably, Atletico were screaming for a goal last weekend against Malaga - where they would have secured the title had it not been for Willy Caballero's superb late save to deny Villa at the death. Los Rojiblancos looked lightweight up front - where they scraped a draw thanks to a late header from centre-back Toby Alderweireld. In those three games that Costa has missed, Simeone's side have managed just four goals whereas in the 34 games that the Spaniard has started in, they've banged in 72 at an average of 2.1 goals per game. The power, pace and skill that Costa possesses has been instrumental in guiding Atleti to the summit of the league. Simeone will be praying that his star man shows no signs of fatigue at Camp Nou.
"Diego Costa is spectacular. We saw this at the beginning of the season and let's hope it continues until the end." - Koke.
"Nobody gifts him anything. Everything he manages is a result of his effort, and sacrifice." - Diego Simeone.
"Messi never goes missing. He is always there. In just a few minutes he can change a game. He does it in nearly every game" - Andres Iniesta.
"He is one of the few players in the world that you have to be careful with when you see him in a bad light because he can turn everything around in three days and put in a performance." - Tata Martino.
Costa will be keen to sign off in sparkling fashion, with the Atleti striker set for a summer move to Chelsea. He has all the necessary match-winning qualities required to win the key clash, as he's consistently shown throughout the 2013/14 campaign. However, it would be unwise to underestimate the impact that Messi can have at any given moment. Barcelona will find it difficult to break down a combative, energetic Atletico - but Messi will be itching to improve his record of three goals in his last seven games. Expect the Argentine to light up Saturday's crucial encounter.

When they left in 1790 the husband/father seems to have already been deceased.
Any information on any of these people and the name of husband/father and Ann/Anna maiden name would be greatly appreciated.

Angry birds — and especially smart, angry birds — aren't just the subject of my latest NYT Mag mini-column. Because my mom collected and bred parrots, they're something I've spent far too much time pondering.
Did you know that crows develop grudges against individual people that they impart to their flocks? Or that African Greys are capable of labeling and counting objects and grasping the concept of zero? Or that birdsong appears to be in some sense grammatical? Often parrots use their powers for good, and not evil, of course. As far as we know.
Daphne du Maurier (above) said the idea for her avian-apocalypse novella, "The Birds," came to her after she saw a farmer ploughing a field while seagulls dived above him, and she imagined the birds "becoming hostile and attacking." Evidently she disapproved of Hitchcock's also-harrowing, more famous adaptation.
Unfortunately, this BBC interview doesn't seem to be viewable in the States these days. In it she talks about her life and work for almost 50 minutes. The clip opens at her typewriter, "the standard 'the author at work' establishing shot except for du Maurier's super-strong finger-punching technique on the keys."
In some languages, as in English and French, the modern freezing of spelling has removed the writing more and more from pronunciation and has resulted in the need to teach spelling and the growth of fallacies like the "silent" letter (a letter is really either the symbol of a sound or it is unnecessary).

DEFINITION of 'Royalty'
A payment to an owner for the use of property, especially patents, copyrighted works, franchises or natural resources. A royalty payment is made to the legal owner of a property, patent, copyrighted work or franchise by those who wish to make use of it for the purposes of generating revenue or other such desirable activities. In most cases, royalties are designed to compensate the owner for the asset's use, and are legally binding.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Royalty'
Royalties are often expressed as a percentage of the revenues obtained using the owner's property, but can be negotiated to meet the specific needs of an arrangement. The use of royalties is common in situations where an inventor or original owner chooses to sell their product to a third party in exchange for royalties from the future revenues it may generate.

Hi it's Natalie again! I didn't find to many names that I liked and I know I'm being really picky. I just can't seem to find any names that I "LOVE" I like a lot of names but nothing jumps out. Please please please help me! :) Thanks, Natalie!
I'm expecting my 5th child and my daughter Kateley wants her (if baby is a girl) to have a 'K' name like her & her sister Kessa. This was unintentional, but she read one of my other polls looking for name suggestions and they pointed it out and now she feels the baby HAS TO HAVE a 'K' name. Any suggestions? Her brothers are Bennu & Madden. She doesn't care what the boy name starts with. :)
Im not sure if it's a boy or girl I'll post one for each, If it's a boy his middle name has to be Bruce, so I need to know which first name you like best, Thank you ~ Marsha, Jeff, George Kenneth 8, and Zoe Carolyn 4
We have narrowed it down to three names for out little Girl! Holly Gabrielle, Hannah or MaKayla???
Im not sure if it's a boy or girl I'll post one for each, If it's a girl her middle name has to be Judith, so I need to know which first name you like best, Thank you ~ Marsha, Jeff, George Kenneth 8, and Zoe Carolyn 4
For a greek baby girl? nn Cassie. Also, mn?
Hey everyone, this might sound kind of odd, but my sister and I come from a small family (just us two and our parents) so we are each now the mothers of very large families, and I'm pregnant again, with a girl! Her older siblings are Violet Cecily, Phinnaeus Oliver (Phin), Ruby Odette, Persephone Claire (Sephie), Margaret Eloise (Maggie), Henry Jacob, Rosaline Genevieve (Ros), and Eamonn Broderick. I'll post their cousins' names in a comment so you know what not to use. Thanks SO much! ~Julianne and Paul
Which do you prefer? Open to other "B" middle names but terra stays.
Which one? Thanks, Grace
Need some help which do you like? Our pick, my pick or his pick??
I really like the name Colleen, but I am open to ther suggestions so please be honest. I want a popular, but not common fn and a more old fashioned mn. Thanks! I also like Melody Colleen, Courtney Colleen, Zoe Colleen, Faith Colleen, Paige Colleen.
I talked to one of my close friends yesterday and she said that when I'm looking at names I need to pay close attention to the "playground factor" as in how much would the kid be picked on. Is this really that important?

SpeakerCraft has some bass for your face—as well as the crevices of your walls. The company recently announced its Cinema line, three new subwoofers that may not fit your stocking, but can be stuffed inside any wall.
Each of the new units boast a unique driver construction. "Quality sub bass requires more than just a driver in the right size box," says Tom Lee, SpeakerCraft's principal loudspeaker enginner. "A careful balance between the motor structure, suspension, cone parameters and cabinet design is critical to delivering the sound pressure and low frequencies required in today's music and theater systems."
The three models include 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch versions. Dedicated amplifiers with 150, 200 and 250 watts of power are optimized to drive the three models; each also feature a front-panel volume control.
The three systems will retail for $750, $1,000 and $1,500 respectively.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Three Chevrolets stolen from Monterey auctions

Despite the security one would expect where six-, seven- and eight-figure cars gathered for the weekend, three Chevrolets were reported stolen from the recent Monterey auctions, an event that California Highway Patrol spokesman Robert Lehman called "pretty rare," given that he couldn't recall any other collector car thefts during Monterey weekends past.
Taken from a fenced and secured area at Russo and Steele's auction in Monterey was a red 1961 Impala SS 409 convertible wearing Idaho license plates reading "SS409." Described by the seller as "the only all-correct, matching numbers example known to exist," the four-speed manual transmission car had recently undergone a rotisserie restoration, and was reportedly valued by the owner at $220,000. Offered for sale on Friday, August 16, the rare and desirable convertible failed to meet its undisclosed reserve price, and was taken from the secured lot some time after crossing the stage around 8:45 p.m.

Two Midwestern automotive dealers suffered the loss of cars consigned to Mecum's Monterey auction, located on the grounds of the Del Monte golf course in Monterey. On Saturday, August 17, a white 1961 Chevrolet Impala restomod, belonging to World of Wheels in Des Moines, Iowa, was reported stolen during the night. The car featured a recent restoration, and was fitted with a modified 383-cu.in. V-8 crate engine from Summit Racing, a TCI 400 transmission, a four-core radiator, new interior and exterior trim and a set of polished American Racing wheels. The car's value was undisclosed, but a high bid of $50,000 failed to meet the car's reserve price.
Reported missing from the Mecum lot on Sunday morning, August 18, was a pale yellow one-owner 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, said to be in unrestored condition after 42 years in storage. Though the exterior had benefited from a single respray in the original factory colors, the car's interior was said to be all-original. Previously part of the Richard Hubbard Collection, the car was being offered for sale by Sam Pierce Chevrolet in Muncie, Indiana. Reportedly valued at $65,000, the car received a high bid of $50,000 when it crossed the block on Friday, August 16, but also failed to meet the reserve price.

All three vehicles were likely targeted for the value of their parts, and the ease of which they can be sold to unsuspecting hobbyists. While far more expensive cars were plentiful at both auctions, parting out a 1949 Ferrari 166 Inter Berlinetta Coupe or a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder would prove both risky and challenging, while parts from the missing Chevrolets can be applied to a far wider range of vehicles. Those with information on the thefts should contact the Monterey office of the California Highway Patrol at 831-796-2100.
UPDATE: Jalopnik reported that a 1962 Corvette was also stolen over the weekend, though from a bed and breakfast rather than from one of the Monterey auctions.
UPDATE (4.September 2013): The New York Times reports that the 1962 Corvette has been recovered.
First production Volvo P1800 stolen in Sweden
The stolen 1961 Volvo P1800, chassis number 2. Photos courtesy Mats Eriksson.
Perhaps one of the most significant Volvo P1800s in the world, the first production P1800, has been stolen.
Taken from a locked storage area in Stockholm, Sweden, sometime between August 21-22, the P1800 wears chassis number 2 and has the distinction of being the first of its kind to leave the Jensen Motors Limited factory in West Bromwich, England, as well as the first to be sold to the public.
Painted in red with a white interior, the car was first displayed at the Brussels Motor Show in January of 1961. Prior to the show, Volvo's head of quality control at the Jensen factory compiled a list of items to be addressed on the car before it was ready to be displayed, including an incorrectly aligned front end; the lack of an oil cooler; incorrect shock absorbers; incorrect brake master cylinder; imbalanced radiator fan; incorrect drive shaft joints; non-functional left door stop; tooling marks on bumper; grinding marks on steering wheel spokes; and an improperly mounted jack assembly.
As if these points weren't enough to address, an inspector in Sweden documented a total of 95 items to be corrected prior to the Brussels show. Though this may seem like an indictment of the build quality delivered by Jensen Motors, it actually spoke more of how the production P1800 was rushed to market before the proper parts were available (and before the assembly process was finalized). Following the Brussels Motor Show, chassis number two was returned to Gothenburg, Sweden, for testing, then shipped to the Geneva Motor Show in early March. Following Geneva, Volvo retained possession of the car until late November 1961.
When acquired by Volvo enthusiast and P1800 expert Mats Eriksson, chassis number two was in dire need of restoration. As vice president of the Swedish Volvo P1800 Club, Eriksson has an eye for detail, and the car's resurrection was carried out with an eye on authenticity. Wherever possible, new-old-stock parts were used to replace worn components, and the car was sprayed in the same #70 red that it left the Jensen factory wearing in 1961.
Distinguishing features of chassis number 2 include the unique finned wheel covers seen in the image above, as well as registration plates reading C28000 and ACZ 780. The vehicle identification plate, located in the engine bay above the brake master cylinder, shows the car as Chassis 2, Color 70 and Upholstery 302.
No ordinary P1800 coupe, this car tells the story of the transition from prototype to production, making it far more than an assemblage of parts. If anybody has any information regarding the whereabouts of the car, let us know and we will forward it along.
Update 9/1/13: Although we don't have any details on the car's condition, we can report that it's been recovered in Stockholm, Sweden, and returned to its owner, Mats Eriksson.
Stolen car alert – 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible
Normally the best time to post a stolen car alert is right after the vehicle has gone missing – wait too long to get the word out, and the car has likely changed identities and/or time zones. That said, sometimes they hang around, and Richard Kauffman of Millersburg, Ohio, believes that to be the case with his stolen 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible.
Kauffman bought the Cutlass in 1994 for $1,500 and proceeded to restore it with a buddy of his in Moss Green with gold stripes and a white top and interior. An Olds 350-powered and air-conditioning-equipped car, the Cutlass also saw a few modifications along the way, including a Hurst dual-gate shifter, custom stereo and CD changer, and a Hotchkiss two-inch front drop kit. Kauffman also added a tilt steering column and Tic Toc Tach. "I wouldn't say it was mint," Kauffman said. "I drove it. I like to drive my cars around."
Stolen on the morning of May 6, 2012, from the Canfield Fairgrounds in Canfield, Ohio, the Cutlass was at the time wearing Ohio license plates CPE9032 and VIN 34671M186059. Kauffman is offering a $1,000 reward for any information leading to the return of his car. Anybody with information about the car's whereabouts should contact Kauffman at 330-893-3283 or the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office at 330-480-5000, reference report number 6-1205-007.
Stolen car alert – 1973 Volkswagen
Photos courtesy Jason Torchinsky.
You want to earn the enmity of car guys everywhere? Steal a collector car. You want to earn the enmity of a highly devoted legion of automotive enthusiasts mobilized by mass media? Steal an auto writer's collector car.
A much-loved, highly distinctive 1973 Volkswagen Standard sedan disappeared from in front of the house of automotive blog Jalopnik's creative writer Jason Torchinsky last night. Jason has written a post asking for help in locating his Beetle, which he's owned for decades. It was last seen in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, California, last night. It's bright yellow with yellow steel wheels, and it has navy blue metallic stripes and a matching-color roof rack. Other notable features include a penny welded to the gas tank under the front hood and a baby seat in the back.
If anyone can help Jason be reunited with this four-wheeled family member, he'll be most grateful. Jason can be contacted through his website.
UPDATE (8.April 2013): The Beetle has been spotted, and it appears that Jason is in the process of getting it back!
UPDATE (8.April 2013): Jason and the Beetle have been reunited.
"What're they gonna do, take away his library card?"
You know, all but the last three minutes or so of this 1976 short film (for driver's ed classes? an after-school special?) makes joyriding seem innocuous. All to give a little more impact to the ending, we suppose. Found on USAutoIndustry's YouTube channel. Carspotters, what do you see here?
How To: Steal a car, circa 1968
Okay, so maybe it's not an instructional video on how to steal a car, but this FBI training video on how to examine stolen cars for evidence that could return a stolen car or nab the thieves sure shows plenty of tricks and tips, applicable to pre-1968 cars, along with some savvy and well-organized criminals, all wrapped up in a decent storyline.

Stolen car alert – 1937 Buick Century
"You just never think it'd happen to you," Jamie Alexander of Fort Worth, Texas, said. But Jamie found himself the victim of another collector car theft this past week, and he'd like to ask Hemmings Nation to keep its collective eyes peeled for his 1937 Buick Century four-door sedan.
Jamie said he had the Buick parked next to his 1934 Chevrolet Master and 1941 Packard (and among other townhouse residents' Mercedes-Benzes and Porsches) in the gated and coded parking garage at his townhouse on Samuels Avenue in Fort Worth when it went missing sometime between 5 p.m. Sunday, August 26, and 3 p.m. Wednesday, August 29. "The ironic thing is that out of my three cars, the Buick was the only one with an alarm and electric locks, both of which were set," Jamie said. "So whoever took it had to really want it; I don't think this was just some joyride."
After searching for about a year, Jamie bought the Buick out of Hemmings Motor News two years ago and has since used it for weddings and photo shoots. The previous owner street rodded it with a Nova front clip and rear end, a 355-cu.in. Chevrolet V-8, and gray leather interior. It carries a VIN of 63244786 and was wearing a Texas license plate (GC94ML) when it was stolen.
Anybody with information on the whereabouts of the Buick should call the Fort Worth Police Department at 817-392-4200.
UPDATE: We pulled up the text from the Hemmings Motor News ad, which includes a few more details:
1937 Buick Century street rod, Chev 355 V8, 700 R4 transmission, new Nova front clip, Nova 10-bolt rear, 100 AMP alternator, Walker Radiator, aux transmission cooling system, LaCroo banjo Steering wheel, VDO gauges, Vintage Air a/c & heat, alarm, chrome wire wheels and more. High quality professional frame-off restoration, The paint is lilac (dark purple/black) with gray leather and matching trunk. Car is near perfect, both mechanically and cosmetically and is built with the best quality workmanship and components. It has a certified cash value appraisal of $65,000.
Hemmings Motor News publishes stolen collector car reports online and in the pages of Hemmings Motor News as a service to the collector car hobby. To report a stolen collector car please include a copy of a filed police report, VIN, description of the stolen vehicle (including any unique identifying characteristics), and at least one photo of the stolen vehicle.
Stolen pickup alert – 1954 Chevrolet 3100
Photos courtesy Jan Kunze.
Jan Kunze of Oklahoma City recently contacted us to see if Hemmings Nation can help her get her stolen pickup back. Jan was out of town July 10 when a friend noticed her black 1954 Chevrolet 3100 five-window pickup missing from her driveway on NW 38th Street. She came home right away, but all that the thieves had left was a vent window latch in the driveway, likely broken off when the thieves pushed the vent window in to gain access to the truck.
The Chevrolet, VIN J54K011397, still has its 235-cu.in. straight six engine and wood-floored bed, but has been upgraded to 12 volts and runs a louder-than-stock dual exhaust system.
Anybody with information on the whereabouts of Jan's Chevrolet should contact the Oklahoma City Police Department at 405-297-1122.

Stolen Car Alert: 1965 Stingray and 1970 Chevelle SS in Puyallup, Washington
According to a sketchy account in the August 10 The Seattle Times, Puyallup-area collector Gary Tucci was the victim of a highly-targeted smash-and grab. It sounds as though thieves actually drove through the wall of the warehouse where he keeps his cars, ransacked the place and drove off with a 396/425 four-speed Stingray; and a 20,000-mile 396/four-speed Chevelle SS. It's always possible they'll be stripped, but why steal cars this valuable if that's your plan? I'd guess they were after these two, specifically. If anyone has a VIN, let me know, not that the VIN plate is still on the cars at this point. The Corvette came from Barrett-Jackson in January, but their site is down right now. I'll update if I can find out more when it comes back up.
Anyone with information on the thefts is asked to call Tacoma/Pierce County CrimeStoppers at 253-591-5959.
Chevelle, Corvette cloners busted, charged with felonies
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, later converted to a fake LS6. This photo came from a dealer before the fraudulent sale that resulted in criminal charges.
Two purveyors of fake Chevrolet muscle are looking at trials on felony charges after their respective scams fell apart.
In Columbus, Nebraska, it was a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 which the seller, Mickey Dush, allegedly bought from a Florida collector-car dealer for $37,500, equipped with a fake build sheet he bought online and a 454 of unknown vintage, and then sold as an LS6 to an Iowa man for $87,000. It wasn't until after the sale that the buyer's wife found a VIN decoder and determined the car's true origins. According to the Columbus Telegram, Dush's lawyer will claim the buyer failed his due diligence in researching the car, but right now Dush is looking at theft by deception, a Class III felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Investigator Gene A. True from the Nebraska State Patrol Auto Fraud Division said that it's difficult to sell such white-collar crimes to prosecutors used to seeing violent crimes. "When I first got this case, I told the victim it was a crime, but we're going to have to sell it to a prosecutor," he said. "There are shysters out there who know it's safer to steal money with a pen than with a gun."
This engine was yanked and replaced with a 454.
The Corvette story is more intricate, and comes from North Tonowanda, New York. There, Robert C. Ernst bought what he thought was a 1966 427 Corvette convertible for $49,700. He was hoping for Bloomington certification of the $75,000 in restoration he subsequently performed but, as the Buffalo News reported, when he took it to a June 2011 National Corvette Restorers Society meet in London, Ontario, he started to get worried:
"There are five teams of judges that go over the areas of the car. I was in the second area when the judge asked me if they could take a picture of the VIN tag," Ernst recalled. Moments later, the judge came back and told Ernst he was disqualified because the VIN tag was counterfeit. He said that the number was right for that car, but that the lettering font and the die marks on the tag were different from the ones that General Motors would have used in 1966. Ernst said, "They looked at this thing with a jeweler's loupe."
Ernst went straight to the Niagara County District Attorney's office, which has now returned nine felony counts (third-degree grand larceny, second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, forgery of a VIN, illegal possession of a VIN and five counts of offering a false instrument for filing) against Ronald A. Ellis, who sold the Corvette to Ernst. "What was happening with the VIN took place long before my client had the car," according to Ellis's lawyer, Herbert L. Greenman. As a thread on Corvette forum points out, this appears to be a real 427 car, just one with a fake VIN. It will be difficult to assess the damage done to Ernst in this case – the car's value is diminished not by being a fake; but rather by not being showable in NCRS or Bloomington events.
There will be people whose first reaction will be to call to break out the baseball bats, but that's vengeance, and neither punitive nor preventive. The only way we can all collectively deal with scammers is to shine a bright light on them and let would-be evildoers know we're all watching out for each other. If you hear about some funny business or run into a questionable car, let us know.
Gene True also offered some advice. "You have all the power in the world before you sign on the bottom of that purchase agreement," he said. Afterwards, "unless its a criminal action, I have no authority." He says a call to his office (402-471-8764) or your local equivalent will happily get you a title check. "We have access to all kinds of databases," he said, and he's amazed how often people buy expensive cars without taking even this simple, free precaution. "Do yourself a favor, and ask to see the title. Make sure it's right, and not tainted in some way." If there's a problem, make that call. When you do see it, make sure the seller actually has ownership; that it's not a rebuilt or salvage title; and that there are no prior liens on it. The call to the state will also let you know if it was stolen 35 years and four sellers ago – which really does happen.
Given other recent results in forged vehicle cases, and that neither defendant appears to have a criminal record, both will likely bargain their charges down from felonies to civil offenses, with sentences in the two years' probation range, with some degree of restitution. "How far does a buyer have to go?" True said. "Talk to the original owner? There has to be some integrity in the system, the buck's got to stop some place. We go after them with whatever diligence we can do."
