Drawn To Life
You know, I think I can honestly say that I never expected to write a story about anything related to the Archie comics' universe, but this was too cute to pass up. Leonora Martin, a librarian at an elementary school in upstate New York, has wound up making an appearance in Betty & Veronica because she won a raffle.
A year ago [Ms. Martin] went to a conference of the New York State Library Association. Archie Comics Chairman and Publisher Michael Silberkleit and Vice President Fred Mausser also attended the meeting in Saratoga Springs and raffled off an appearance in one of their comics. Proceeds from the raffle went to the New York State Library Association endowment.
The comic features its titular characters on a tour of colleges when they get stranded in East Greenbush, NY, and Ms. Martin takes them into Bell Top Elementary School (where she actually works) and teaches them about different library programs. Both Martin and her elementary school also appear on the comic's cover.
