20.5 Foundation In honor of Jayme's favorite book, Foundation, read a book written by an author born in the U.S. between 1950 and 1959.

Please post any questions about task 20.5 in this thread.

List of authors currently in the database.

yay! I was using wikipedia :)

I"m sorry, I meant to post this much earlier.

Does this task include the years 1950 and 1959?

yes.

I'd like to get this author approved for this task before I post, because his info was a little harder to track down than some.

Michael Moss

Born in 1955

Born in Eureka, California: (last paragraph of bio: "Born in Eureka, Calif., Mr. Moss attended San Francisco State University..."

Thanks.

Yes.

Nicole Jordan, via her wikipedia page. (Posting in completed thread now, hope that's okay....)

Hey everyone, when the GR page doesn't have any vital statistics, the first thing I do is highlight/right-click/search Google. Often the information comes up there and when it does I'm through looking. If you find an author that requires more search than that, please post - otherwise, you can be sure I'll find it.

Thanks so much, Elizabeth. :)

Would this statement on Gerald Elias' blog be enough to qualify him? I can't find the birthdate specifically:

I was born just seven years after the end of World War II. Seven years! That’s nothing.

Yes, only because he clearly should fit this range of years. I won't give him a date in the database, so he won't automatically get added for this task - please remind me of this approval when you post.

Thanks! I'll keep looking for the actual date. My brother-in-law knows him;)
