[Groop]20th ann. book

[Fred Vigeant]

Hmm.

How about a retrospective piece, perhaps text, capturing the entire lifetime
of Groo......

Both in fiction...and Real Life.

We have certainly heard and read how Groo came to be. How about one more
time?

Wouldn't be nice to have a text peice about Groo, reflecting on his ...
his....um....his career?
