I also got in a note from Warren Harris — he of the legendary Midget Bandit Week here on Up and Down These Mean Streets — who continues to delve into the life and criminal exploits of Edwin Ware.
Warren included a link to a blog post out of Portland with “some new information I dug up on the Midget Bandit.” Needless to say, all you fans of the MB should surf over instantly.
He also tells me that the Fresno County Library is doing The Maltese Falcon as the Big Read this spring: “I’ve been invited to speak at the Sisters-in-Crime meeting on March 14 at the the Yosemite Falls Cafe’s (Ashland & 99) meeting room in Fresno.” More details as they are solidified.
