To: Howard. Do you recall the time frame for that first discussion?
As an aside, when I corresponded with Howard T. Slutz (who had moved from Battle Creek to NY with the General Foods consolidation to White Plains in 1962-63), he indicated he had retrieved the majority of Kodacolor prints used in the 1963 Post set. They had been thrown into a trash bin, along with files pertaining to the promotion. Mr Slutz gave them to his son. Howard, Bill Betts, and Virginia and Ralph Moody said they never were involved in providing or being aware of 1962-1963 Post copy art being provided in support of the JELL-O baseball card promotions.
I suspect that the General Foods employee (alluded to as the source of the copy art/paste-up boards) must have worked in White Plains OR perhaps been involved in the rotogravure or printing process. It sure would be nice to have a name. Maybe Lelands has something on record?
