The story of The O'Quinns: In 1955 John Steinbeck came to Austin Texas to visit his nephew Jon Atkinson. Jon was highschool friends with Kerry O'Quinn. During Steinbeck's visit Kerry went to Jon's house and took his parent's Heritage Club copy of The Grapes of Wrath which Steinbeck signed with the wonderful inscription: "For Mr. & Mrs. Quinn from John Steinbeck who isn't angry at anybody". FYI: When Jon and Kerry graduated highschool in 1956 their parents gave them a two week trip to New York City. John and Elaine Steinbeck were away at Sag Harbor for the summer but offered them the use of his 5-story townhouse on East 72nd Street complete with housekeeper and cook. Elaine helped them to get orchestra seats for all the big Broadway musicals including My Fair Lady which was sold out. Heritage Press hardcover books
