What are the names of the real children of Andrew E. Svenson, author
of the Happy Hollister series? He wrote these books under the
pseudonym of Jerry West. He wrote for the Stratemeyer Syndicate and,
later, became a partner of the Syndicate. He had six children. The
five children in the Happy Hollisters were modeled on the six children
he had. He morphed his two youngest into one character, believing that
five characters  were all a reader could follow. Any current addresses
for these children would be helpful.

Hi amwebbooks,

I did some initial research.  I could only find one reference to
Svenson's children, and it said he had five children.

"Andy Svenson died of bone cancer in 1975. His wife and five children
survive him."

I'll see if I can dig up anything else.  Also, I should mention that
Google Researchers can't give out private addresses.

According to this link (and I believe it is accurate) there were six:

Scratch the address request. It was an ill-advised afterthought.
