Newspaper clipping from the Seguin Gazette in 1972, chronicling my first exposure to the Tolkien legendarium. I was in those elementary grades (the 3rd grade, to be exact) to which it was presented. Coming up on 49 years ago, now. Strange to think that Tolkien was still alive at the time. You might notice that 'Balin' is misspelled 'Falin'. I remember later when the Gazette announced the premiere of the Rankin/Bass Hobbit as a 'Journey to Middle East'.
