3. FAN FARE:
Meet the ListMeister of the Web's newest ERB list server:
My introduction to Tarzan and ERB started when I was about 12 and my father mentioned seeing the Tarzan films when he was a child (Weissmuller's).  An uncle had a few Tarzan Dell comics with Lex Barker on the cover, which I really enjoyed reading, and I looked forward to seeing Tarzan in a movie myself.  The first one I saw in a movie theater was TARZAN AND THE LOST SAFARI in 1957, also the first one in color, and with Gordon Scott in the title role.  Wanting to find out more about ERB's jungle hero, I checked out all the Tarzan books from the library and read them; I made it a point to see all future Tarzan films and the TV showings of the earlier ones, and became a big Tarzan & ERB fan.  I would like to see someone do John Carter of Mars as a feature film...but done right.  With Hollywood, though, I'm not holding my breath for it.  My other interests are Superman, Davy Crockett and the Alamo, rock music (1950's with Elvis all the way the Beatles, Hendrix & Zeppelin), monster movies (Universal, Hammer, AIP...but not the slasher pictures), westerns like Lone Ranger and Zorro, movie serials; all the good things I grew up with.

Joan darling:

Developing an excess of energy, I have managed to get the remainder
of the junk off.  How I came to accumulate such trash is not a long
story.  There is a great deal of trash down there.  What is not trash,
they have boosted the prices on as much as 500 to 600% since our boys
blew in with money to burn and no sense of value.  AND I didn't know
whether I was going to have enough money for legitimate expenses, as
I was unable to get checks cashed after I left Honolulu.

Incidentally, they have also boosted prices on trash.

However, I thought that you might like to have souvenirs of the trav-
els of Marco Polo Burroughs.

Please divide them in your family as you see fit.

If there is excess postage on the package, please let me know.  It
has just occurred to me, (too late, as usual) that the descriptive
matter on the various packages may call for 1st class postage.

Lots of love!

Papa
