DON BLANDING
Newspaper Columns

It is possible that Don Blanding was never as expressive, or more open and eloquent than in his daily or weekly newspaper and magazine columns. He made them as "chatty" as possible, and reading them is like sitting down with him and shooting the breeze. His subject matter ranged from biographical anecdotes and current events, to art and music reviews. He often published a snippet of poetry that would appear later in an upcoming book, or he might read part of a letter from a dear friend. He even got up on his soapbox at times and spoke passionately about a subject which he felt strongly about. They are a joy to read.
