[edit] Winny the Pooh

Don't forget that Winny the Pooh was written, in part, in Porter County, Indiana, after Beatrix Potter moved there from the UK. --Wloveral (talk) 23:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Winnie the Pooh was not written by Beatrix Potter, but by A. A. Milne. Omnedon (talk) 00:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Oops. My built-in google is now 60 years past reading those books. Sorry. You are so right, but growing up in LaPorte, Indiana, we kids were told that Winnie the Pooh was in the next county over.--Wloveral (talk) 01:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
