The first section of this part lists tributes to, personal reminiscences, and the activities of many of the individuals who have contributed to the writings about the Writings or who have made contributions in other ways. Additional information on these and other Sherlockians will be found in the 1962 edition of Bill Rabe's Who's Who and What's What, in the sections "Whodunit" and "Stand with me here upon the terrace..." of The Baker Street Journal, in the section "About Our Contributors" of Baker Street Miscellanea, and in sections of other Sherlockian periodicals. Brief obituary notices and tributes are usually omitted. Robert S. Gellerstedt, Jr., maintains an up-to-date computer index of obituaries in BSJ. His address is: 1035 Wedgewood Drive, Fayetteville, GA 30214.

Among the ranks of Sherlockians or Holmesians as they are often called in England, are two U.S. Presidents, numerous well-known authors, hundreds of dedicated scholars and collectors, thousands of devoted fans, and millions of readers of the remarkable adventures of Sherlock Holmes, faithfully recorded by his associate and friend, Dr. John H. Watson.

In 1942 Franklin Delano Roosevelt accepted honorary membership in The Baker Street Irregulars and designated as "221b Baker Street" the Secret Service quarters at his "Shangri-La" retreat in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains. Then in 1946 Harry S. Truman became an honorary member. Sherlockian cartoons about these and other U.S. Presidents are listed in Part XII, Section C. An illustrated article entitled "Sherlock Holmes and U.S. Presidents" appeared in the July 1976 issue of Sherlock Holmes.

Another admirer of Sherlock Holmes was Ogden Nash. I received a letter from Isabel Eberstadt, daughter of the poet and humorist, in which she wrote:

My father was a passionate admirer of Sherlock Holmes. As a young boy, his ambition was to be, if not a master detective like Holmes, then a master writer of detective fiction like Conan Doyle. This career did not flourish, and, as you know, he went into another line of work.

Moreover, his attachment to Sherlock Holmes was enduring. He had many copies of the stories. The big omnibus volume, The Complete Sherlock Holmes, was always with him, either in his library or, more likely, by his bedside table within easy reach.

Daddy liked to read aloud to all of us and he was a wizard at it. He read brilliantly, enthrallingly, often blood-curdlingly. And Holmes was an all-time favorite subject. He read the stories to my mother when he was courting her, to my sister and me from the time we were tiny, and then to our children.

He used Holmes as an antidote when he was tired of his work or depressed by something in his daily life, and as an added savor when things were going well.

He relished his knowledge of the minutiae of the stories, and bested his family and friends in many an unequal contest.

Would Daddy, given a choice, have preferred to play third base for the Giants or follow in the steps of Mr. Sherlock Holmes? Opposite passions -- a difficult choice -- but I think it would have been in the footsteps of the master detective.

After his retirement, Edgar W. Smith, editor of The Baker Street Journal, moved to a cottage in Morristown, N.J., and then had the postal authorities rename his house number and street after Holmes and Watson's address. Al and Julie Rosenblatt's P.O. Box number is 221b. Still others have Canonical names or numbers on their license plates: baker st. (Ken Lanza), garrideb (Bob Thomalen), gint rat (Tom Butterworth), lmntry (Richard Wein), mycroft (Charles Meyer), sh 221b (Ted Schulz), sherlock (Tom Dandrew), sherlok (John Bennett Shaw), shrlok (Harold Niver), 221b (Peter Blau, John Connelly, Francine Morris Swift, Herb Tinning, Ben Wood), ccxxi-b (Ben Fairbanks), 221 bsi (John Bennett Shaw).

Luther Norris, who headed The Solar Pons Society (a society devoted to the Sherlock Holmes pastiches by August Derleth), was listed in the Los Angeles telephone directory under the name "Pons, Solar." Maybe he should have simply occupied the 7B Praed Street flat in London whenever Pons and Parker were away on a case, which apparently is most of the time.

Harold ("Tyke") and Theodora ("Teddie") Niver went so far as to decorate their entire house in Sherlockian/Victorian decor. Each room has a Canonical name, and their house is called Baskerville Hall. Even their music store was named Sherlock's Music. This must be the ultimate dedication to the cause, unless, of course, it is compiling a world bibliography on Sherlock Holmes.

The second section lists items about the societies, their activities and publications. There are presently more than 350 active Sherlock Holmes societies throughout the world, and the number is increasing almost weekly. Sherlockians have the missionary zeal in spreading the Canonical words and in founding societies both here and abroad. For instance, during a trip to China in 1992, Irving Kamil, who heads Mrs. Hudson's Cliffdwellers, started a society named The Asian Travellers for visitors to the Great Wall of China. Not to be outdone, George Vanderburgh followed suit in 1993 with a society called Dr. Sterndale's Lion Hunters during his tour of duty in Kenya.

Perhaps the largest and most active society is The Sherlock Holmes Club of Japan, with more than 1,200 members. Other major societies include The Baker Street Irregulars, The Sherlock Holmes Society of London, and The Bootmakers of Toronto. Peter E. Blau maintains a current directory of these societies. It can be obtained for $3.55 by writing to him at: 3900 Tunlaw Road NW #119, Washington, DC 20007-4830. Also available from Peter is his invaluable monthly, Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press, which provides commentaries on the latest Sherlock Holmes books and current and future happenings in the Sherlockian world. The cost is very reasonable, less than $10.00 a year when this book went to press.

A perusal of entries under both Societies and Memorials and Memorabilia reveals an incredible variety of events and projects that are held or sponsored by these societies. In addition to meetings and birthday dinners, there are Silver Blaze horse races, Col. Sebastian Moran trap shoots, parade floats, costume parties, film festivals, plays, conferences, and cruises. They honor Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle with commemorative plaques and stamps, statues, proclamations, keys to the city, honorary citizenships and diplomas. Their enthusiasm and ingenuity are unlimited.

During an interview in November 1982, Dr. Joseph Fink was quoted as saying that a goal of The Three Garridebs of New York is to have The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in every hotel room beside the Gideon Bible.

Members of The Sherlock Holmes Society of London defy the law of gravity by reenacting Holmes and Moriarty's death struggle at the Reichenbach Falls. So far no one has fallen into "that dreadful chasm."

The Brothers Three of Moriarty, headed by John Bennett Shaw, defame the memory of the evil genius with a manure pile at its Unhappy Birthday Party for Moriarty. Local residents often put up a "stink" over the event.

To lend credence to the belief held by most Sherlockians that Watson was the real author / recorder of Holmes's cases and that Conan Doyle was merely the literary agent, the Maiwand Jezails, under the direction of Professor Richard D. Lesh, actually broke into the Wayne State College Library in 1963 in the dark of night in Victorian costumes, and, with dark lanterns, proceeded to change all of the Doyle catalog cards to "Watson." The Holmes books were then moved to the Watson section of the Library. As might be expected, photographers and the press were present during the incident, which made great feature stories in the midwest newspapers. According to the Jezails, Professor James Moriarty, "The Napoleon of Crime," had coerced the British Museum into improperly filing the author cards, and the error was picked up by the Library of Congress.

I had a somewhat similar but unpublicized experience at the Colorado State University Libraries. Instead of trying to persuade the unimaginative Catalog Department to change the cards for Doyle, I took the liberty of inserting a cross-reference card for Watson: "Watson, John H., see Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan." Otherwise users looking under "Watson" might think that the Library did not have any books about Sherlock Holmes. The Collections Development Librarian brought to my attention one day that there were seventeen shelves of Sherlock Holmes books. Unlike him, I did not think that was nearly enough to satisfy the demands of the students and faculty!

Because of the voluminous writings on Sherlock Holmes, the Library of Congress did make one concession by listing all such books under "Holmes, Sherlock." Unfortunately, it added the subheading "Fictitious character," which, of course, we know is not true. If Holmes's existence were still not open to question, there would be little need to qualify this heading. The heading should be: "Holmes, Sherlock, 1854 -- ." Will someone please bring this glaring error to the Deputy Librarian's attention so that the records can be corrected once again?

In a moving tribute to Edgar W. Smith, Thomas L. Stix, Sr., wrote, "He was hopelessly and irretrievably in love with a man ... And, although the object of Edgar's passion was possibly a fictional character (as some foolish librarians maintain) [italics mine], there was nothing fictional about Edgar's feeling for Mr. Holmes."

"It is simply amazing, Holmes, the lengths your followers will go to honor you and to prove your existence." This bibliography is proof that Sherlock Holmes is alive and well.

Please Note: Sherlockians and the societies in this country are well represented in Part VII; those in other countries are not. This is entirely due to a lack of information about Sherlockians /Holmesians outside the United States. If more Sherlockians had sent me newspaper and magazine articles about their activities, I would gladly have made entries for them. Unlisted articles can easily be included in the first supplement if I receive the necessary information, either the articles themselves or else citations that conform to my entries: author, title, illustrator (if one), exact name of magazine or newspaper, volume and issue numbers, date, pages, and a brief summary (25-75 words).
