Spivak and Francine & Wayne Swift have passed on the sad news of two deaths among the stalwarts of the Baker Street Irregulars. Much the more famous was Isaac Asimov, one of the great science-fiction writers, who was also a commentator on the Bible and on Shakespeare, a communicator of science and history, a quick-witted deviser of scurrilous limericks, a writer of pure detective fiction, and a Sherlockian of note. W.T. (Bill) Rabe may be best-known for WE ALWAYS MENTION AUNT CLARA, his extraordinary investigation into the origins of the BSI's anthem, but he also contributed many articles to Holmesian publications, and was a genial leading member of The Old Soldiers of Baker Street of the Two Saults. Sherlock Publications (6 Bramham Moor, Hill Head, Fareham, Hampshire P014 3RU) has issued a new edition of Philip Weller's admirable THE DARTMOOR OF 'THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES', in which the author has taken the opportunity to correct a few errors of earlier scholars that had found their way into the first edition, and to include a select bibliography. This handsome little book will be invaluable for those attending our Society's Dartmoor weekend in June, and indeed for anyone interested in tracing the locations of THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.

    Jan 12 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 158th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 11 to Jan. 15. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's). The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Dr. Lisa Sanders, author of a "Diagnosis" col- umn for the N.Y. Times and the technical advisor for the television series "House, M.D."; the title of her talk was "Is Holmes Crazy As a Fox, or Just Plain Crazy?", and you will be able to read her paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and featured Donny Zaldin and Hartley Nathan in a Sherlockian "Carnac the Mag- nificent" skit and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) in a Sherlockian tribute to the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic. The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber) for the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year; the winner (Karen Murdock, author of "Do You Write Like Arthur Conan Doyle?") received a certificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17.

We picture the ama- teur sleuth, vain, aloof, tall, lithe, with a fondness for pipes, violins, drugs, capes, and deerstalker hats. We remember tales of the expert detective who solves crimes through investigation, observation, deduction, and logical interpretation of evidence. But who was his creator, this man called Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? When did he live? What were his interests? How did he become a ‘Sir’? Does his work reflect a literary period? Was he responsible for defining the genre of detective fiction? What is the quality of his writing? What kind of a Victorian was he? How was he regarded by his contemporaries? Such questions as these that scholars (and fans) pursue can now be answered at the Uni- versity of Michigan because of the gift of the Parker Family Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Col- lection. Numbering over 2,000 items, the collection consists of Doyle’s poetry and his Copyright 2009 by the University of Michigan Library writings in fiction, true crime, war and propaganda, and spiritualism.
