This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in June 1976, after working for the ''Guide'' part time during college<ref>"Karlgaard Joins Guide Staff", Fergus Falls Daily Journal, 6/5/1976. Note the article lists June 1968 as establishment of the ''Guide''.</ref>. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the ''Guide'' as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

Burnette G Pletan, World's Fastest Artist

2020-10-27T16:40:49Z

AzraelBrown: /* Value */

[[Image:Burnette-Pletan-1988.jpg|right|thumb|220px|Burnette G Pletan, in 1988]]'''Burnette Pletan''' ''(playt-un)'' b.8/24/1910 - d.3/21/1991, the self-styled "Fastest Painter in the World".

Pletan started painting in 1932 after an artist visited his parent's farm, and Pletan decided he could be a painter himself. Self-taught, Pletan said (or possibly joked) that when he started painting he did not know that artists had special brushes, so he used regular house-painting brushes for his art.<ref name="howtovideo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-rLP6d7CNU Pletan performing a very entertaining 'Bob-Ross' style how-to-paint], YouTube (actual creator unknown), retrieved 10/2/2007.</ref> Whether a joke or not, that style of brush was the implement Pletan used the most, as demonstrated in two videos in the 1980s:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp46NbF0Ybc Pletan on "65 and over"]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-rLP6d7CNU Pletan performing a very entertaining 'Bob-Ross' style how-to-paint]

Pletan painted for sixty years, his style varying only slightly over time. Travelling the country, he sold his works everywhere, painting them on the spot and selling them barely dry. He gained enough notariety to have works commissioned for the likes of the Paul Harvey and the King of Norway.<ref name="expressotilt">[http://missioncreep.com/tiLT/pletan.html Burnette G. Pletan, Fastest Artist in the World], B. Amundson, ExpressoTILT!, retrieved 10/2/2007.</ref>

==Family==
Pletan was born in 1910 to Gunder and Selina Pletan in Wendell, Minnesota, the only son with three sisters: Gladys, Verna, and Judith.<ref>[http://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/news/2005/dec/08/judith-sonmor-obituary/ Obiturary of Judith Sonmor, nee Pletan], Fergus Falls Daily Journal, 12/8/2005.</ref> It does not appear that Pletan ever married.

==Artistic Style==

Identifying materials:
* Masonite 'canvas';
* Acrylic paints;
* In later works, day-glo spraypaint.

Pletan's style largely involves mixing several colors on a single wide-bristled paintbrush and drawing lines and smears on a Masonite backing, mixing the color as he goes. The thick brushstrokes and heavy application of paint makes for a exaggerated texture on his 'canvas', and the lack of working the paint (mostly due to the fast-[[Image:Burnette-Pletan%27s-Winnebago.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Pletan's travelling studio, circa 1980.]]drying acrylic paints) creates an expressionistic fluid motion in his art. The style is amateurish compared to finer art, looking somewhat like a student of the Bob Ross school of art but painted with a 4" brush held in the fist. Still, Pletan's art has an certain "outsider art" appeal, as his style is immediately recognizeable, and his 'how to' video has taught imitators his craft.

Pletan's artwork relies on a few standard vignettes, usually a mountain lake, a snowy mountain pass, or a desert river. Nearly all include some sort of fauna, mostly deer but occasionally a person. By not expanding his repetoire of subjects, Pletan's art was a rote process with creative flairs on a smaller scale, such as the positioning of trees and deer. This makes his various paintings almost indistinguishable, except for close scrutiny of the small details.

By reducing brushstrokes to a minimum and sticking to familiar subjects, Pletan was able to produce paintings at a breakneck speed, from five to ten minutes for an average sized (around 16" x 24") painting. The size of Pletan's paintings depended only on the miscellaneous cuts of Masonite canvases, which resulted in his paintings being almost universally non-standard in size.

Pletan's earlier works contained greater detail than his later works, due to his deteriorating coordination. Later works are 'messier,' due to shaky hands, but retained his signature style of painting.

==Signature==
All Pletan's paintings I've seen, his signature is quite large, in one of the lower corners, and is drawn by dragging the blunt end of a paintbrush through wet paint. If the painting had already dried, Pletan would add a smear of fresh paint to scratch his name in. The format is always "Pletan (year)", making his artwork and its year of creation extremely easy to determine.

==Value==
Since I wrote an article featuring Pletan for Collector's Quest<ref>[http://www.collectorsquest.com/blog/2006/06/22/art-on-the-outside/ "Art on the Outside"], Derek Dahlsad, '''Collector's Quest''' (site down), 6/22/2006. [http://www.inherited-values.com/2020/10/art-on-the-outside-collecting-pletan/ mirror]</ref>, I'm often asked what the value of a Pletan work is. Pletan claimed numerous times<ref name="expressotilt"/><ref name="howtovideo"/> to have painted over 100,000 works in his sixty years, so his paintings are not overly-rare, but their reputation (sometimes deserved) as 'starving artist' paintings reduces their overall value. One painting I own was purchased directly from Pletan in the 1980s by my great-uncle, but I'm not sure how much he paid; the other two were purchased at a garage-sale for next-to-nothing. Sellers on eBay and elsewhere have asked for several hundred dollars for large framed Pletan paintings, but they do not appear to have sold at that price. I'd expect, as of fall, 2007, the smaller works to sell for $20-$50, larger one for $70-$150. In my opinion, these prices are low for an original work by a recognized (although obscure) artist, but demand is low and the paintings are not particularly rare.

Howard Binford's Guide

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in June 1976, after working for the ''Guide'' part time during college<ref>"Karlgaard Joins Guide Staff", Fergus Falls Daily Journal, 6/5/1976. Note the article lists June 1968 as establishment of the ''Guide''.</ref>. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the ''Guide'' as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in June 1976, after working for the ''Guide'' part time during college<ref>"Karlgaard Joins Guide Staff", Fergus Falls Daily Journal, 6/5/1976</ref>. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the ''Guide'' as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

Howard Binford's Guide

2018-07-29T16:19:24Z

AzraelBrown: /* 1977 */

[[Image:Howard-Binford-Guide-Logo.gif]]

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area.

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

Howard Binford's Guide

AzraelBrown: /* 1976 */

[[Image:Howard-Binford-Guide-Logo.gif]]

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

Howard Binford's Guide

[[Image:Howard-Binford-Guide-Logo.gif]]

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>

This monthly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968<ref>According to the [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] issue of Howard Binford's Guide. [https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM incorrectly states: "''...locally published magazines containing community information on the Fargo-Moorhead area. The Binford Guide was published by Moorhead resident Howard Binford from 1971 until his death in 1989.''"</ref> by the eponymous [[Howard Binford]], was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, [[:Image:Howard_Binford%27s_Guide_Map%2C_1985.jpg|map]], and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, [[Pride Magazine]], to [[Kaye's Printing]] of Fargo<ref>"Kaye's Inc., of Fargo Are New Publishers of The Guide and Pride", [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref> after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities<ref>"To Everything There Is A Season", Howard Binford, [[:Image:1986-May-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|May 1986]] Howard Binford's Guide</ref>. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue<ref>[https://www.mnstate.edu/archives/Guides/CollectionGuide.htm Northwest Minnesota Historical Center Guide To Collections], MSUM. Ibid.</ref>, shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as ''Fargo-Moorhead Magazine''<ref>[http://www.forumcomm.com/newspaper/?page=westfargopioneer The Pioneer Journal], Forum Communications Company: "''Originating as the Howard Binford Guide in 1971, The Fargo-Moorhead Magazine is the area's only city magazine.''". Note that Forum Communications also gets the first year of the ''Howard Binford's Guide'' incorrect as well.</ref>, published by [[The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead|The Fargo Forum]].

==Staff==
Karl Karlgaard became Associate Editor of the ''Guide'' in the mid-1970s. On 1 June 1978, newscaster and photographer Norm Robinson joined Karl as 2nd Associate Editor. In June 1981, Nancy Edmonds Hanson joined the Guide as an associate editor, graduating to full Editor status in 1984. Also at the same time as Hanson's promotion, photographer Russ Hanson was added to the staff. These two changes were due to Binford's age and interest in the future of the magazine with less of his control.<ref>"Binford Announces Addition to Guide Staff", [[:Image:1984-June-Howard-Binfords-Guide.jpg|June 1984 issue]] of the Guide.</ref>
