1113.0. "Walter Farley " by GENRAL::LEECH (Pat Leech CX01/02 DTN 522-6044) Thu Nov 02 1989 13:22
From the Blood Horse, dated Oct. 28, 1989
Walter Farley, 74, died on Oct. 17 of heart failure in Venice,
Florida. He is survived by his widow, Rosemary; a daughter, Alice,
of New York City; and two sons, Steve, of New York City, and Tim, of
Los Angeles, California.
From Syracuse, New York, Farley was 11 when he wrote his first story
about horses. While in high school, he began writing The Black
Stallion, a story about a boy and his adventures with a black Arabian
stallion. The book was publised in 1941, while Farley was attending
Columbia University, and 38 years later became the first of two of his
novels to be made into movies. More than 12 million of Farley's books
have been sold in in some 14 countries.

| 1113.1 | One of my favorites | TOOK::SCHLENER | | Thu Nov 02 1989 15:52 | 8 |
| I used to read all the Black Stallion books when I was younger. One of
my favorites was the one where Alex looses his memory out west (I
forget if it was because of a plane accident) and Black is running
loose like a mustang.
The end, of course, ends with a horse race.
I forget the name of the book but I did like it.

| 1113.2 | Black Stallion Mystery??? | STRATA::STOOKER | | Fri Nov 03 1989 12:22 | 4 |
| I believe the name of that book is the Black Stallion Mystery.
I really enjoyed that one also. It was from a plane accident.

| 1113.3 | We'll miss Walter | DECWET::DADDAMIO | Hopelessly Optimistic | Fri Nov 03 1989 14:55 | 8 |
| I'm really sad to here this. I grew up reading the Black Stallion and
Island Stallion books over and over and over... My husband went out a
few years ago and bought all of his books in paperback. We've been
rereading them, but there were a few which were new for us and we
really enjoyed reading the new ones - Alec finally grows up some and
even falls in love with a girl who actually rides the Black in a race.

| 1113.4 | Title | STAR::KRO | | Wed Aug 29 1990 21:38 | 12 |
| Re .1. Confession from a Black Stallion book reader. The title was
The Black Stallion Rebels. Alec got amnesia and the Black got loose as
a result of a plane crash. How did they get on the plane in the first
place? Well, back on the NH ranch, the Black got itchy with all this
good domestic behavior, did some naughty deeds and they decided he
needed a break on a ranch with lots of freedom. So Alec and the horse
got on a plane to go west...
I wish I could remember what happened at my last DEC meeting as well as
I can remember the plots of the Black Stallion books...
