Robertus Love notes a planned memorial by the American Press Humorists for Bill Nye of the Boomerang. The fund seeks to erect a monument in Laramie where Nye first realized his humorist gift, after a life linked to the mule and newspaper both named the Boomerang.
Secretary Frank T. Searight of the association plans a monster entertainment at the Auditorium during the week of the fifth annual convention to focus the Bill Nye monument fund. The event will feature press humorists and Pastor Robert Burdette, with Nye biographical sketches and career highlights from his Wisconsin farm beginnings to a Wyoming law career and journalism.
The piece traces Bill Nye the humorist’s career from his chaotic late life in Wisconsin and North Carolina to his work with the American Press Association.
