Elementary, My Dear APA

Elementary, My Dear APA -- Paul Bishop: In 1973, DAPA-EM (which stood for Elementary, My Dear APA - don't ask, because I don't know the origin of the name) became the first and only APA (Amateur Press Association) devoted to the mystery genre.

Fine capsule history of a form of communication that seems well-nigh incomprehensible to kids today.!

I enjoyed that too, even though he didn't mention that I visited him (and his first wife) in California back in the old, old days.
