{"value"=>"<p>The <span class=\"emph\">PROFESSIONAL PAPERS</span>series (1.2 lin. ft.) contains professional correspondence which is arranged alphabetically. There are separate folders of correspondence for Ann Armistead White, a long-time friend and Richard Gaugert. Gaugert was the Events Coordinator for the Saint Louis Art Museum, and an independent promoter of films and picture books for children, who was a friend, fan, and promoter of Steptoe's work. Fanmail is divided between adults and children, and is arranged chronologically. The series also contains requests from Steptoe's fans, and inquiries from artists seeking advice or asking him to illustrate their books. Press releases, nominations, honors and awards, speech and presentation notes, and material from courses Steptoe taught, are also part of this series, as well as a folder of writings by other authors which Steptoe saved.</p>"}
