Adds in a postscript, "Dont forget to look up your snow shovel. It is that time of year." Recipient "Dewby" is Mervyn Dew-Brittain (whose name/address label appears on front pastedown), a local Dubuque theater manager and "entertainment impresario" (Kwasky's words) who is mentioned in this book's acknowledgment, appears a couple more times in the text (once followed by a discussion of Fatty Arbuckle and his ties to Dubuque) and is pictured in his cluttered den with a caption reading "Mervyn Dew-Brittain, Dubuque's theatre impresario, can find in his den at home any town lore under the sun to jog a writer's memory. No matter the subject, no matter the date. Just give him time to search." Kwasky (1917-2005) was an electrical engineer who penned a number of well-received Dubuque history titles.
