A REAL DOLL!
Today we're saluting a real doll! A
real American doll. Maybe not like
the beauties you see on the silver screen
and certainly no Barbie. But she's already
outlasted most of them and today is her
Birthday. It was on September 7th ., of
1915 that artist/writer Johnny Gruelle
patened the Raggedy Ann doll! As the
story goes his daughter found an old
rag faceless doll in her grandmother's
attic. Gruelle painted it's face and the
grandmother sewed a button on for a
missibg eye! Her name came from
portions of two James Whitcomb poems,
"The Raggedy Man" and "Little Oephand
Annie." So a very Happy Birthday to
Raggedy Ann! Hope all your NEWS is
good!
