MICHAEL WALLIS: My first summer in New Mexico, I didn’t have a car up there in Taos. I walked. Every other day I walked from the Wurlitzer Foundation to the post office, which was of course a big gathering place for everyone to get their mail. I carried a huge sycamore stick to literally beat dogs off of me. They finally learned. They were savage. I love animals, but these dogs were after my ass, and I just had to whack them a few times. Here I am again, an idealistic writer.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. One of Our Own: Pawnee Bill's Life as Viewed by Bloomington Residents Gordon William Lillie was born 14 February 1860 or 1861 in Bloomington, Illinois.1 The son of a laborer, Lillie achieved fame as one of the great Western heroes, and became known world- wide as Pawnee Bill. While Lillie left Bloomington early in his life and only later achieved his considerable fame, and eventually retired to a privately owned ranch near Pawnee, Oklahoma, his home town remained aware of his pedigree and followed his exploits through newspaper reports and other media. Although his early activities with fellow Western icon Buffalo Bull were largely ignored by the local press (and often fabricated by dime novel writers who considerably confused the historical record), later visits from Lillie's wild west exhibition were often described in local papers, and when (primarily in his later life) he reinforced community ties by returning to Bloomington to visit, the local press showed an enthusiasm for him as a Bloomington native who had achieved international fame but not forgotten his local roots.

  • 1 “I Grew up Loving Cars and the Southern California Car Culture. My Dad Was a Parts Manager at a Chevrolet Dealership, So V
    “I grew up loving cars and the Southern California car culture. My dad was a parts manager at a Chevrolet dealership, so ‘Cars’ was very personal to me — the characters, the small town, their love and support for each other and their way of life. I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I wanted to take another road trip to new places around the world, and I thought a way into that world could be another passion of mine, the spy movie genre. I just couldn’t shake that idea of marrying the two distinctly different worlds of Radiator Springs and international intrigue. And here we are.” — John Lasseter, Director ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Studios are off to the races in “Cars 2” as star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and his best friend, the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy), jump-start a new adventure to exotic new lands stretching across the globe. The duo are joined by a hometown pit crew from Radiator Springs when they head overseas to support Lightning as he competes in the first-ever World Grand Prix, a race created to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the finish line is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and bombshells when Mater is mistakenly ensnared in an intriguing escapade of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and “towing” the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer).

  • Introduction to the Inventory
    OSU-Tulsa Library THE MICHAEL WALLIS PAPERS Introduction to the Inventory About the Author Michael Wallis, born in Missouri in 1945, has worked as a writer and editor since 1968. He lived in New Mexico, Texas and Florida for 12 years where he served as an award-winning reporter and feature writer. His articles have appeared in more than 75 magazines and newspapers in the United States and Europe including Time, Life, People, Fortune, Money, Smithsonian, American West, GEO, Metropolitan Home, Outside, Texas Monthly, New York Times, and many others. In 1970, Wallis founded Esperanza, a quarterly of literature and art, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. From 1970-1972 he edited the publication and produced a series of dramatic presentations and readings under the Esperanza banner. In 1972, the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation of New Mexico in Taos awarded Wallis a grant-in-residence for fiction writing. From 1973-1978 Wallis was a reporter, editor and bureau chief for a chain of daily newspapers in Texas. In this capacity he opened and pioneered a news bureau in a 10-county region of East Texas and acted as capitol correspondent and bureau chief in Austin, Texas. While building a reputation as a feature writer and investigative reporter, Wallis was selected for several state and local editorial awards. Wallis moved to Miami, Florida in 1978 where he covered the Cuban refugee exodus, crime and drug smuggling and other news events for Time, Inc. and several European publications. In 1981 he was selected as a top feature writer by the Florida Magazine Association. Following his 21 months in South Florida and the Caribbean, Wallis returned to Missouri to complete several long-range projects.
