A little more re: Bard of Sherman Avenue
For 14 years, I’ve been part of the best-kept secret in Coeur d’Alene. Mayor Steve Widmyer was amazed that Huckleberries was able to
keep the lid on the identity of The Bard of Sherman Avenue since his little rhymes first appeared in print in May 2002. “You can’t keep a secret like that in this town,” Widmyer told me Feb. 20 at Blogfest 2016. As many of you know, I revealed the identity of the master of the mini-rhymes at Blogfest, the annual celebration of the Feb. 16, 2004, birth of my Huckleberries Online blog. Tom Wobker, formerly of the Pennaluna & Co. brokerage in downtown Coeur d’Alene, took his overdue public bow.

SReporter Scott Maben told you about The Bard in a feature story last Sunday . Scott didn’t mention that Wobker thought people would be disappointed when they found out he wasn’t someone important, like Duane Hagadone or Hagadone’s partner, Jerry Jaeger. Judging from the warm applause Tom received at Blogfest, I don’t think people were disappointed at all/DFO, Sunday Huckleberries, SR. Full Huckleberries column here.
