Dick Wick Hall

Dick Wickenburg "Dick Wick" Hall (born DeForest Hall, March 20, 1877 – April 28, 1926) was an American humorist. As co-founder and initial resident of Salome, Arizona he began publishing ''The Salome Sun'', a newsletter containing tall tales and humorous prose. Hall created a variety of characters for his newsletter, the most famous being a seven-year-old frog that had never learned to swim. Excerpts from the ''Sun'' became a regular feature of ''The Saturday Evening Post'', appearing in the magazine from 1920 until Hall's death in 1926. Provided by Wikipedia
