Mr. Falter has always been one of my favorite cover artists. I’m also from the midwest, Nebraska. Falter drew a number of Nebraska scenes, he was from Falls City, I believe. While he did not do nearly as many covers for the Post as Norman Rockwell, he did many excellent ones.

I remember John Falter as well — although all our meetings were via telephone. It was one of my jobs, as a young SEP editor, to call the cover artist each week, and compose a tightly written cover essay for Page 3.
