My name is Jeff Boggs and i live in Springfield, Missouri. I am an aspiring writer. I have a B. S in Electronic Media and a B. A in English from Missouri State University. I am working on a novel entitled Dynamic Duo of the Ozarks. It is based (very loosely) on two true stories here in Springfield.
One is a story I stumbled onto in the microfilm editions of the Springfield newspapers from 1966. At the height of Batmania, two college students dressed up as Batman & Robin. They attempted to help both Springfield PD & Springfield Fire Department, who didn’t appreciate the help from this “Dynamic Duo of the Ozarks.” They wound up emceeing frat parties, dances & hootenannies.
The other story involves a local philanthropist & volunteer known as “the Springfield Batman,” because he visits children in the local hospitals dressed as Batman.
I will post some chapters here, as a sneak peak. I also have some interesting facts about 1966, that I have found with my research. Some of these articles, have been posted on another blog that I used to manage called “New Adventures of Desdinova the Super-Villain of the Ozarks.”
I hope people enjoy this blog about my Work-In-Progress.
