Hi, I have a patron who is looking for the testimony of a prisoner who
finds God, named Starr Daly. She thinks it was published a long time ago
in a book titled "Release." The only reference I've been able to find to
someone named Starr Daly was in the 1949 William Penn Lecture given by
Jean Toomer (http://www.quaker.org/pamphlets/wpl1949a.html). Otherwise, I
have been unable to find anything on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books in
Print, and a general web search. I wonder if it might be included in a
larger collection of Quaker writings. Does anyone know anything about
this person or work? Thanks! Erin

Yes, there are several works by an author with
the pseudonym 'Starr Daily,' including Release
(OCLC # 576517), Recovery (OCLC # 4155522), This
Is The Life (OCLC # 2059500), Through Valleys To
Victories (OCLC # 1593215) and several others.

PS - Starr Daily is now on my list of coolest
pre-hippie-era hippie names, right behind the
name that appears on a plaque in the FDR era
Federal Courthouse next door: Director of
Procurement, Rear Admiral Christian Joy Peoples.

Apologies - reply off list, I'd hate to see this
observation start a thread.
