Cheers ! Graeme

Subject:  Ruthie Duskin Feldman, RIP

Walden just told us of the death of Quiz Kid, Ruth Duskin. She died on May
18th, just a month shy of her 81st birthday. A brilliant kid who grew up to
be a prominent author, columnist, and humanitarian. Her 1982 book, published
by Chicago Review Press,  "Whatever Happened to the Quiz Kids: Perils and
Profits of Growing Up Gifted', containing her interviews with about a dozen
of her fellow panelists, became a best-seller. Obviously its stock has fallen
in the three decades since release and you can now buy a good used copy for
about six bucks or get the Kindle version for $ [removed] from Amazon.

There were dozens of books written about the Quiz Kids, several based on
questions and answers from the radio program and one even written as a silly
Whitman Company mystery in 1946, "Quiz Kids and the Crazy Question Mystery."
But the only books worth having regarding this popular radio quiz program are
Ruth's 1982 one or her 2013 revised [removed] the book written by the
executive assistant of that program, Eliza Merrill Hickok. Her 1947 book,
"The Quiz Kids" (Houghton Mifflin Company) is harder to find on the sites of
used book dealers, but well worth the search. Her history on the origin of
the show and its progression over the years sparkles with interesting facts
and little know anecdotes.
