For those of you who know and admire Uncle Shelby, Lafcadio-the Lion who shot back, has a special meaning for me. I actually knew and called Shel Silverstein, "Uncle Shelby" when I was 6 to 9 years old. I lived in Tokyo then and my father was Shel's boss at the Stars and Stripes. Uncle Shelby was often at my house and on the few times my Dad took me to work, I saw him at the Stars and Stripes. Some years later, when I was in high school, Shel began his publications that became well known and very popular. Uncle Shelby would send a first edition to my Dad with a note. When Lafcadio arrived, I loved it. I was then in public speaking competition and one of the categories was "humours interpretation". I realized that Lafacido would be a great piece to use. Dad contacted Shel and asked Shel if I could use this. Shel agreed and I sent Uncle Shelby a thank you note. I then went on to use the first chapter of Lafcadio as my piece in this competition. I won. I was the state champion in public speaking in this category. Despite my performance, I knew that it was the work of Uncle Shelby, and not I, that really won the state championship.
