EPISODE 24 GRANDMA CHAPMAN'S POETRY

WUGIDGEM AND THE SNOW QUEEN.  GRANDMA WROTE HER POETRY BETWEEN 1917 AND 1969, A COPY OF WHICH SHE GAVE ME IN JULY 1969.  I HAVE REDISCOVERED HER TALENT, PARTICULARLY AS I BEGAN TO READ THEM ALOUD LAST YEAR.  WHEN I FINISHED SNOW QUEEN, I BEGAN PODCASTING THOSE EPISODES, AND STARTED THE FIFTH MR. WUGIDGEM ADVENTURE, FACES OF FREEDOM.  I HOPE TO FINISH IT THIS MONTH AND BEGIN PODCASTING IT NEXT MONTH.  I WILL CONTINUE READING FROM GRANDMA CHAPMAN’S POETRY AND FROM MY FATHER’S NON-FICTION ADVENTURE TALKING TO THE WORLD FROM PAN AM’S CLIPPERS.  TODAY’S POEM IS ENTITLED MY TRIP TO LONG ISLAND.  PERHAPS THIS WILL EVOKE MEMORIES OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER AS WELL.

EPISODE 23 GRANDMA CHAPMAN'S POETRY

DIRECT LINK TO EPISODE 23.  I’ve decided to launch this new blog in the middle of Grandma Chapman’s Poetry.  For those of you who have been listening to my weekly podcasts, I am still writing book 5 in the Mr. Wugidgem Children’s Stories, and I’m about two-thirds of the way to the end.  For the next couple of weeks I’ll be reading my Grandmother’s poetry, which she wrote between 1917 and 1969.  Then I will switch to reading from my Father’s book, Talking To The World From Pan Am’s Clippers.EPISODE 23 GRANDMA CHAPMAN'S POETRY

EPISODE 22 GRANDMA CHAPMAN'S POETRY

DIRECT LINK TO EPISODE 22.  THANKS FOR TUNING IN.  I MADE MORE TIME AVAILABLE THIS WEEK FOR BOOK FIVE IN THE MR. WUGIDGEM SERIES, SO I AM NOW MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.  TODAY I AM READING GRANDMA CHAPMAN’S POEM, CHRISTMAS WISHES, WHICH I BELIEVE IS APPROPRIATE FOR TODAY AND EVERY DAY.  I AM CONSIDERING READING FROM MY DAD’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY, TALKING TO THE WORLD FROM PAN AM CLIPPERS.  DAD WAS A NAVIGATOR FOR PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS IN THEIR PIONEER DAYS, AND I BELIEVE HIS STORY IS FASCINATING.  PLEASE EMAIL ME AT allanwchapman@gmail.com TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HIS TALES.  THANKS!
