My in-laws and husband have many documents relating to this, but by the time a received credit in 1971 it was commercially printed many times over and far too late to copyright. A private man, he wrote the poem "for fun, with no idea for gaining fame - and certainly not fortune" as he stated in 1971.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289992142955226924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145150938922509338.post-86270847441526990052007-11-30T08:03:00.000-08:002007-11-30T08:03:00.000-08:00Karen, do you know anything about the poet Quinton...Karen, do you know anything about the poet Quinton Howell?
