CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
The caption to this photo said, "A rainbow is something that happens between sunrise and sunset." That is incorrect. They forgot to remember the night rainbow. From Clarion's 1974 yearbook.
Ever since we spent the night in that haunted clock tower in Solvang, we haven't been able to properly time our seasonal posts. Whenever you happen to be, this one is from Salem's 1983 yearbook.
