MIT—Latest Update!

The following day, Paula sent me her latest report on the Men In Trees picture! I think, she should have been a private investigator —along with her dad, because they are really following up on that mystery picture! In this latest letter, Paula also included a picture of Marty Robbins, and the resemblance was remarkable, to say the least! I think that would be too cool, if Marty Robbins was in the Men In Trees picture! Gosh, it sure feels good, to be blogging, again! Here is Paula's latest update:

Dear Nancy,

My dad and I went by the shop to see Dale just as he was closing up yesterday, and we showed him the picture of the Men in Trees. He loved it and the mystery. He sure sees the resemblance and is going to ask his sisters what they might know. But even though his dad was in WWII in the Pacific, he doesn't really think it's his dad. But he does think it's... Marty Robbins! I found this old photo of Marty—what do you think???

At the other end of the mystery—my dad is on the case. He's found that the Garrett name from inside the Kipling book goes back to the 1850's here in Kaufman, and there are still some down the road (10 miles away) in the small community of Scurry (don't you love that name? And, if someone from Kaufman is calling it small, you know it's tiny.) Anyway, my dad is going to ask around at the Senior Citizens' about Virginia Lou. And we'll go from there, probably to Scurry.

I hope things are going well with you guys. Tell the pups I love them. xoPaula
