Dear Scribblers

I heard some very sad news today. Jerry Nelson who voiced Count von Count in Sesame Street has died.

The Count has always had a special place in my heart as I explained in a previous communiqué - http://thecraftyscribe.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/the-crafty-scribe-communique-silliness.html

In fact, the Count was with me last weekend when we visited a favourite pub which was converted from a church. I though he looked splendid in his lair!


The joy and learning that Mr Nelson gave to millions of children worldwide will never be forgotten. We thank you, sir.

In remembrance.

Happy Scribing!
