After our 38th parallel book slide talk at the Alpine County library (Markleeville, CA),
this notice ran in Tom Sweeney's local newsletter:
"The program... TRAVELING THE 38th PARALLEL, A WATER LINE AROUND THE WORLD, last Saturday was an enjoyable time for all the armchair adventurers in attendance; it was a full house. Modern day Martin and Osa Johnsons*, David and Janet Carle shared their travels and the book they wrote about them. If you missed it and ever get another chance be sure to take advantage of it."
**stars of the great 1950s "I Married Adventure" series
So we looked up the Johnsons, who traveled in the 1920s and '30s, wrote
about, and filmed their adventures. Osa's book "I Married Adventure"
is still available at online book stores.
