 * I don't know that Jennings is notable in our sense; that is, whether a page for him is appropriate.
 * I added and partly completed the 2 wikiproject banners above and the entire page footer, as for all children's writers whom I find unidentified.

Birth place
Library of Congress says Port Townsend, Washington, citing Cataloging in Publication data. Perhaps the publisher provided his residence by mistake or by laziness. A profile in the Washington state Peninsula Daily News calls him "a kid from Crown Point, Indiana, who found his way to Port Townsend", Washingon. ISFDB gives Gary, Indiana. Goodreads says Gary, Indiana, but may be ISFDB's source. He says he grew up in a small town in Indiana --which is consistent both with kid from Crown Point and birthplace Gary.
