Ginny Gordon and the Mystery at the Old Barn. ** SPOILERS ** nt

For those of yall who've read Julie Campbell's Ginny Gordon series (it's not as well known as Trixie Belden series, but if you liked Trixie Belden, I suggest
you give Ginny Gordon books a try).

Anyway, the Mystery at the Old Barn was published in 1951. It occurred to me a few months ago that Lochinvar, the hillbilly singer in the book, was modeled after Hank Williams. The time would certainly fit. Anyway, I believe he was modeled after Hank.

However, so far as is known today, Hank was really what he seemed to be, a country boy singer, not an educated FBI agent pretending to be a hillbilly singer,
as Lochinvar (AKA Agent Lockwood) was in the book.
