I lost a school library book when I was in first grade (so 1981?). I’m pretty sure it fell out of my bag on the way home, but retracing my steps several times turned up nothing. I’d like to know what happened to that book exactly. It was about the Solar System, if that helps. Thanks. ---

I’m pretty sure it fell out of my bag on the way home, but retracing my steps several times turned up nothing. I’d like to know what happened to that book exactly. It was about the Solar System, if that helps. Thanks. This one is easy. It was picked up at approx. 10:30 am by Sally Van Op Dorp, on her way to the corner store to get a pack of Marlboros. It was used to prop up her the left front leg of her sewing machine table for about three years, until her nephew(9 year old Gregory Stilton) found it, replaced it with two issues of House Beautiful, and took it home…where it stayed in his closet, unread, until Mrs. Stilton sold it during a garage sale to raise money for Gregory’s education(a year and a half at the Columbia School of Broadcasting). It was bought by the current librarian at your very own grade school, Mrs. Sullivan-Phillips, who recognized the school imprint, and is now safely back in the hands of its original owners. ---
