2 Ettas

More on Etta Place – whose name was in the back of my mind, way back – when I came up with the name Etta Kohn for a new character in the Chet and Bernie series who first appears in A Farewell to Arfs, newly on the shelves. My Etta is the retired crime beat writer who keeps a dossier called AZ Desperadoes A to Z. History’s Etta was pals with the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy who had lots of adventures and disappeared during or after the Argentina trip. Many thanks to reader Brenda Flash for sending the photo of Etta and Sundance taken in Buffalo NY in 1901, and to my friend Bob for the photo of the trio in Argentina, 1904.
