‘Curious George’ Collaborator Found Dead, Murder Suspected
Alan Shalleck, 76, who worked as a co-writer of Curious George books and producer of more than 100 tie-in cartoons, was found dead yesterday in his driveway at a Boynton Beach, Fla., senior-citizen retirement village.

It took about three weeks for Google to reindex my site after I migrated from Blogger to Wordpress and moved everything from wfzimmerman.com to nimblebooks.com.
