Besides the BOT and Jeff Berry's works, there had been little mention of the man for decades. Jeff was still compiling more data, and neither the Bittner recipe book nor the bio had been published. Also, the level of info and availability of newspaper archives on the web was much smaller compared to today.(I am not apologizing for his mistake, just putting the article in the context of its time) Thanks for the addition to the dateline, Phil. Placing Beaumont-Gantt in Honululu in 1929 makes it even more likely that he came across the 1928 edition of Vagabond's House. Don Blanding was perhaps the toast of the town then.
