A somewhat misleading (?) reference to Nevin in his friend Norma Howe's novel
"The Game of Life"
.
Here is an excerpt from
"The Game of Life"
by Ms. Howe:
"... Cairo feels as though she's the only one
(besides her dog) with any sense at all --
until she meets a soul mate in the handsome and
worldly-wise Rocky Nevin. ...
Rocky's taking his time, but Cairo's certain he's worth the wait. ..."
"Rocky has a few thoughts of his own about life,
and those gorgeous eyes of his seem to Cairo to make the meaning of life
worth searching for."
Huh?
