John Steinbeck 50 Years -- December 20, 2018

Author John Steinbeck died 50 years ago today, on 20-December-1968.  I don't remember the event, but with a few years I read The Pearl and Of Mice and Men.  Later I read Cannery Row, Tortilla Flats, The Grapes of Wrath and In Dubious Battle.

During one vacation, I read my daughter Travels With Charley at bedtime.  On the drive home, we stopped at the Steinbeck Museum in Salinas and saw the camper.  The book made an impression on her.
