Participating in the event are two dozen different people, two of whom are not bloggers but are John Garfield enthusiasts. Since they don't have blogs of their own, it is with joy that I welcome them to be guests here at They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To. As with all blogathons, try to visit as many of the entries as you can...and have fun celebrating the sensational John Garfield.

NOTE: Two other important Garfield films---Pride of the Marines and Body and Soul---were to have been spotlighted during the blogathon; however, the bloggers intending to showcase those films ended up unable to participate. So, while those films were not part of the blogathon, it's not because they were overlooked.
A huge thanks to: my good friend Monty, of All Good Things, for creating the blogathon's beautiful banner...each person who spread the word about the event...each person who contributed an article...each one who visited the blogs and read the entries. This celebration would not have happened without the participation of all of you!!
