Clarifying my request re: authors' birthplaces

["R. Stewart" <rstewar@remc12.k12.mi.us>]

Hello everyone -

A big thank you to the many response I have already received for
authors' birthplaces. My original request follows this message. I just
want to clarify - I am looking for birthplace. Not where current authors
are currently living. Seems very few live now where they were born. Any
children's author is fine, living or deceased.   Thank you again for all
your assistance.

As we start a new school year in Michigan, I am belatedly trying to
identify authors' (preferably for the k-5 crowd) birthplaces. I really
just need the state, but city info would be great, too. I am hoping to
have two or three from each state. My year long promotion this year is
"Read your way around the USA". Each week (beginning Sept.7) I will
feature authors born in the state and/or books set in the state. Many
weeks will include two states, so we can finish the U.S. during the
school
year.

If you can help by sending me an author or two, it would be greatly
appreciated. Please send replies to rstewar@remc12.k12.mi.us , not to
the
list. I will post a hit if desired.
