  • Stephen J. Cannell, 1941-2010
    STEPHEN J. CANNELL, 1941-2010 Stephen J(oseph) Cannell was born February 5, 1941 to Joseph Cannell, a Pasadena, California entrepreneur. Cannell struggled through his early school years, flunking three different grades of elementary, junior or senior high school, and regularly failing his English classes. Years later, when having one of his own children tested for dyslexia, he discovered that he had suffered from it his entire life. Never the less, he had a passionate love for writing, despite his difficulties with the written word, and set a goal for himself to become a best-selling author. After attending the University of Oregon on a football scholarship and meeting creative writing teachers that bolstered his confidence, Cannell married his high school sweetheart and went to work for his family’s business – driving a furniture truck all day. In the evenings, he set a rigorous writing schedule for himself – writing 5 hours a day, 7 days a week, on spec. He decided that his target market would be the burgeoning television scene, and after 6 years without a sale, he finally sold a script – to the series Ironside. After a few more sales, he caught the eye of the legendary writer/producer Jack Webb, who first hired him to be story editor and ultimately head writer for Adam-12. Cannell was contracted to Universal Television, writing and producing shows for that studio during the early-to-mid 1970s. While there, he produced Chase and wrote for and produced Toma, about real-life New York City detective David Toma. While producing Toma, Cannell and his mentor Roy Huggins (creator of Maverick, and many other tv series) wrote an episode that ended up getting rewritten to serve as a pilot for a series about an unorthodox Southern California P.I.

Thuma Staff Writer Over 65 residents turned out to Tuesday's Sanibel City Council meeting for a heated dis- cussion concerning the issue of paid visitor parking. The discussion concerned 300 spaces located 9 at Tarpon Bay lot, Gulfside City Park, and the lighthouse. Currently no fee is collected for these lots, and parking on the island, with the exception of Bowman's Beach, is free to visitors and residents. Two key issues, along with many other ter- tiary problems related to paid parking were included in the discussion.

Meacham Collection Scope and Content The Emma K. Meacham Collection consists of one box spanning one linear foot. The collection contains Mrs. Meacham’s “Sketches,” stories she shared with her granddaughter as she reminisced about her life. These sketches were transcribed by longtime Library volunteer, Virginia Battle. In this collection, Emma Koen Meacham, 1869-1952, described the early history of Memphis, with notable mentions of the Lee Line of Steamers, the Kate Adams, and President Grover Cleveland’s 1887 visit to Memphis. Memphians Sara Beaumont Kennedy and Robert Looney are also mentioned. Outside of Memphis, she recalled her time as one of the first students to attend Belhaven College in Jackson, Mississippi. She also described in vivid detail the 1897 flooding and levee breech of Laconia Circle in Desha County, Arkansas. Mrs. Meacham was the wife of William Walker Meacham, a planter in Laconia Circle, Arkansas. Together they had two children, Chlotilda Louise Meacham Rechenburg and William Earl Meacham.
