Frederick Kohner

[Kathy Kohner on inspiring Frederick Kohner to write Gidget] 'I can close my eyes and remember turning in the passenger seat of the car and telling my dad that I wanted to write a story about my days at the beach. I told him, "There is a guy who lives in a shack." Dad said, "Well you aren’t a writer, but I know you keep diaries, and I’ll write the story. Sounds like fun."'
