Marjorie Cortylu (married to Charles Da...Dear All,<br /><br />Marjorie Cortylu (married to Charles David Allen) was Albert E. Singleton's sister-in-law by way of his wife (Margret Laura Allen Singleton; Uncle Charlie being Laura's older brother). Maybe Laura put the invitation in the book and there it lived until your discovery.<br /><br />Al and Laura were my mother and father in law. They were both to be important parts of my life and my children's... Amy being my oldest. Laura was the best mother-in-law and grandmother a woman could ever hope for herself and her children. And Al was certainly a man of a different cloth. His intellegence and knowledge was far ranging, and my children used him as a resource for many papers. I will always remeber fondly many long and interesting conversations with him, before or after dinners, on quick drop-in visits that turned into hours. <br /><br />A funny story I just thought of: One morning I was in Houston to attend a press check. The press was delayed, so I went to my father-in-law's to visit until they were ready for me. We talked a while, then each of us read a while, and last of all both of us nodded off in our chairs awhile. Later when we both woke, we laughed a while at ourselves.<br /><br />He will be missed.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Mary Jo SingletonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165652798750080847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144565.post-3749904928430701592006-11-26T19:03:00.000-08:002006-11-26T19:03:00.000-08:00Guusje,

I still have the clipping and I would love to return it to you. Your father was indeed an amazing man. I come from a long line of book lovers and book horders and his collecton was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I did indeed feel like I "knew" him by the time the afternoon was over.<br />GuusjeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333382268292453140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144565.post-69687182081212394372006-11-25T18:15:00.000-08:002006-11-25T18:15:00.000-08:00I thought your whole experience buying the book, f...I thought your whole experience buying the book, finding the clipping, and the research was intriguing, but then I saw Ms. Singleton's comment.

We read a bit of it aloud at his memorial this past weekend and I believe that everyone was quite touched to hear that others may have seen a glimpse of the man that he was. He was the most intelligent man I knew and to the day he died, his memory was perfect. Margaret, was my grandmother and Martha "Marnie" was married to my Grandmother's brother. Marnie and my Grandmother were the closest of friends. Al considered her a very close friend and they kept in close contact up until she passed away. <br /><br />I really do appreciate reading your words and thank you for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144565.post-36168340797725673432006-11-22T07:00:00.000-08:002006-11-22T07:00:00.000-08:00I've only had that happen once, with a late Gene S...I've only had that happen once, with a late Gene Stratton Porter title.
