Rogers E. M. Whitaker
Rogers Ernest Malcolm Whitaker (January 15, 1900 – May 11, 1981) was an editor of The New Yorker magazine who was known to readers for his many contributions to ''Talk of the Town'' under the pen name of E. M. Frimbo, World's Greatest Railroad Buff.
==Early life==
Whitaker's father, Charles Harris Whitaker, was an editor of the ''Journal of the American Institute of Architects''. He lectured frequently and transited the Atlantic over 50 times on steamships. When Rogers Whitaker was nine he took his first solo train ride. He developed a love for trains that lasted his entire life.
During Whitaker's sophomore year at Princeton, Whitaker's father declined to continue paying his tuition, and instead gave him $40 and a letter of introduction to use in seeking a job. Whitaker lived in a theatrical boarding house down the hall from Mae West and worked at the New York Times checking bridal announcements for hoaxes placed by jilted suitors while also selling advertising for a trade magazine.
