The Adventures of Bobby Do: Book 1

They are stories similar to those he used to tell his younger brother, Fritz, after they went to bed at night for their amusement in Lynn, Massachusetts, 23 Nahaut St.While it was the intention to give each a book dedicated to him exclusively, the author ran out of time and failed to keep up with the flow of progeny. In 1974 when this page was penned he regrets this lack. Nonetheless they are given with love to all.Arthur Daniel Ruppel (Big Dad)

The Author, "Arthur" is an enigma. Unfortunately, no one knows his birth year, or place, other than he was likely born in Lynn, MA. He was married several times. But we do know that the above photo was in 1937, prior to the birth of Margret Ruppel in 1942. His apparent age in the above photo is likely mid- to late-40's. He was married probably in 1940, and therefore was likely born prior to 1900, probably circa 1890.
