As Bartles and Jaymes used to say, "Thank you for your support."
So hartwarming!It touched my heart as well millions of
others!It is so sad that our hearts love the Titanic when it stole thousands of lives.
KEWL script!!! I like it! I read the WHOLE thing!
Interesting, very interesting.
Thank you so much for providing me with the script which
can only add to the wonderful experience that is Titanic. I enjoyed the movie more and
more each time I see it, and it has touched me like nothing else before. I have lost
someone close to my heart, so this movie speaks to me on many levels, but like all people
who have seen this movie, it will stay with me forever
I Love that you put the Titanic script here!! It's so
wonderful!! I can't thank you enough!!
It's a graet idea!!!
I just read the Titanic script. Like the others, I don't
know where you got it, but THANK YOU! I felt like I knew the characters. I loved them and
will miss them.
I read the Titanic script. Like the others, I don't know
where you got it, but THANK YOU! I felt llike I knew those characters.
Hey, I love your site, and I have to thank you for the
Titanic script. I don't know were you got it but I thank you. (I just can't say it enough.
I enjoyed reading about the comic book ad for the Gemini
Spacecraft, the sad thing is that I'm old enough to remember it! I too used to lay back in
a chair , on it's back, and dream of going to the stars, or maybe just around the block.
The closest I've gotten is to be a Quality Control Inspector on the Space Shuttle, oh
well, that'll have to do. I just finished watching part 1 of the HBO miniseries "From
The Earth To The Moon", so far it's the best thing to happen to TV since Ken Burns,
"The Civil War". It has rekindled my interest in "the old day's".
Thanks for the memories!
I just saw your titanic script and I`m fond of tis movie
mor than any other person. thanks a lot! manny greetings from germany Christian
I still have all 33 of my Tom Swift books, and like you,
was I inspired by them. Nice to learn more about the series. The books are now gathering
dust next to all the Man from Uncles, Doc Savages and those college textbooks I thought
I'd need again some day. (right) I also have #4 of the old Tom Swift series, which was my
Dad's. Some time when I'm not at work, I'll look through the rest of your links.
Hi
thanks for bringing back to a time that has been well forgotton. yesterday i actually met a man who said he hated the movie titanic but he has
never seen it.
I just finished reading the script. I know that some
people would write a novel praising it, the movie, you at Cloth Monkey for having it here,
and probably a million other things... So I'll keep it short and sweet. THANK YOU. I loved
the movie but I love the script even more.
Thanks so much for having the script for Titanic here. The
movie and the script are both so powerful. But we musn't forget that this tragidy really
did take place,by the fult of man. let it serve as a wake up call for all of us. We are
not invincible nor will we ever be. To thoughs who lost their lives on the Titanic we will
never forget you. Also this movie holds many messages besides following your heart.
"Make it count" - jack Dawson. Also something that was not said- do not give up
on your dreams. Crystal "life is not a dress rehersel" Kate Winslet
I thank you for having the script here. You can really see
the changes they made from the script to the movie. They are both good, and should be the
book as well. TO THE TITANIC AND THE MANY WHO DIED, AND TO THOSE WHO DID LIVED TO DIE
LATER. ON THAT EVENING OF APRIL 14-15, 1912 Let the Lord be with you. Thanks.
It is wonderful for us to be able to use the actual
script, since we're doing a project on the melodramatic elements in the movie, and we're
not able to get the movie on video yet... Thank you ver y much
Thank you very much for distributing the scrip and music.
To be able to read and later re-read times and time again
is an honor and a privedge - THANKS for providing that for so many of us -
Titanic-maniacs. I just skimmed over it for now and will read it a hundred times later -
(I was interested to see the last part different in the ovie and I like the movie-ending
much better) THANKS SO MUCH - Susan
i loved the movie. the scritp is great.
i loved the script.....i wish i could have been in that
movie. i will be famous one day.....
I loved the movie, and I loved reading the script!!
i just finished reading the entire Titanic script, i
thought that if i read it i wouldn't cry the way i did in the movie, i was very wrong and
the pictures weren't any help either. from the sceen where the mother is reading to her
children in bed to the end, i was bawling.
when i saw the movie, i cried from when the mother was
reading to her children in bed i didn't think id cry when reading it
I really enjoy your efforts! By the way, in morse code,
"DE" means "from".
Nostalgic and neat! I collected the original series--still
have boxes and boxes of them . . . from the 1910 era . . . they were wonderfully important
to me as a youngster. Fact is, one of the first books I remember is my Father reading
"Tom Swift And His Airship" each night before bed. Check out some of the other
Tom Swift sites. Victor Appleton was not a real person, either, but one of the myriad
ghostwriters hired by the syndicate to do the series. A story outline would be provided
and editing done to conform the series, Bless My Fountain Pen, but they were different
writers. Back in the 70's came the little humorous one liners; remember: "That's why
I call it my six shooter, Tom said repeatedly!" Anyway . . .thanks for maintaining
the site. Rick Jakle
A truly remarkable production!! It deserves every ounce of
praise it is receiving throught out the world!!
I LOVED THE MOVIE TITANIC. I ALSO LOVED LEO AND KATE.
I love the movie Titanic. It's the best movie I have ever
seen. Thank you so much for the script. I read it all the time. - Marissa
send me stuff, dude
Throughly enjoyed reading about the Gemini model contest.
It brought back some good memories
Very enjoyable piece on the Gemini spacecraft contest.
TITANIC!! IT IS A WONDERFUL MOVIE AND AN AWESOME SCRIPT!!
I LOVE IT!! IF ANYONE READS THIS AND KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE COSTUMES
PLEASE E-,MAIL ME RIGHT AWAY!! THANK YOU!! MISSY LOVES DANA!! MAY 12, 1996
Thank you for all the work you did in showing us the
script to Titanic. It's interesting how the actual filming differed from the script. The
movie ended up being better than the written script. I've seen it 5 times, will go again
this week. The greatest movie EVER made!
THE BEST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN, EVERYONE WAS TOPS
Your essay about how the Tom Swift books touched your life
was great. I felt the same way about Tom back in the 60s, and I have managed to keep my
complete set of 33 volumes in pretty good shape. I remember borrowing my friends' copies
to read so I wouldn't make my own deteriorate! It's so sad to read about how you
"gave" your set away. Best wishes.
Wow, I can't believe what a tremendous page this is,
having spectacular pictures and the script to read along with it!, Keep up the good work
and I hope to see Titanic only get better, the movie was great and so is your page!
Congratulations, Brian
Thanks for the illustrated script! I'm one of those
Titaniacs who pop into Titanic Tim's chatroom every evening. Always looking for another
great Titanic site, and it looks like I've found one here. Come on in the C2T chatroom
sometime and join the fun! And that goes for everybody reading this!
This is such a sad story .... so many people died and so
many people don't get that. I thank you for putting this on the interent with the pictures
. It makes it a lot better than the other sites.
You did an awesome job with the script. Your site really
brings something special back to the script through your use of photos. I know all of us
"obsessed" Titanic fans are quite happy that there are people like you out there
to do great things like this for us :-)
was looking for info on phenylketonurics and wound up on
your site where i couldn't help being amused and amazed even though
this was truly a super page...great work...the script was
every bit as emotional as the movie itself...keep up the good work... :)
I think that the idea of having the Titanic script is a
great one. I think that it one of the best things offered to us on the internet. Thank you
for this opportunity. Peachy202@AOL.com
Thank you for all the work put into making the Titanic
screenplay a reality. I don't think I will ever be movied by a film like this again. This
is the first film I've ever been interested in reading in. Thanks Again!
Thanks for putting this great script togetherfor all of us
poor obsessed Titanic fiends!! A much appreciated and well done service.
COOL TITANIC SCRIPT! Keep it up.
You brought back junior high school days when I read your
Tom Swift Jr. essay. I felt the same way; for me it was a new book each time my parents
came back from shopping downtown. I still have the 32 yellow cover ones; never had #33.
Thank you so much for the titanic script.The pictures are
wonderful! I have never had a movie touch my soul like titanic has.I don't think i will
ever see a movie as wonderful and beautiful as this film!
OK, so I first saw Judy on The Weird Al Show in '97 and
let me just say she IS a goddess. P.S. Why CLOTH MONKEY?!? P.P.S. (WARNING! SHAMELESS
SELF-PROMOTIONAL PLOY AHEAD!) Look for my new single, "Infinity," OK?
your page sucks i would like to gag you with a cloth
monkey.
Killing for peace is like screwing for virginity...and
like re-electing Clinton to "save" our country....
I love Tom Swift!!!! Still have about 20 of the Tom jr.
series.Where can I find more to complete the collection???
This script was so great. "Titanic" is the
greatest movie ever and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to read it. I would like to know
why certain scenes are ommitted (example: 86: ommitted). I want to know what those are!
Anyways. Thanks for putting this on the net so I could read it. It's super.
Great Paage, keep up the good work!
gober says hay........
What the **** is a cloth monkey??? Thanx for all this info
your site is cool..
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful piece of
work to the public. The experience of the movie was gutwrenching and emotional. However,
the experience of the script was no less of either. I have never had the honor of reading
a movie script before, never knowing how much went into it, and how much can be omitted
from it in the end. I cried throughout the whole movie. I cried throughout the whole
script. This tremendous event in our history has touched me in a way I can never explain.
I am so thankful that I could learn more about it in such an interesting and thougthful
way. Thank you to all who were involved in offering the script over the Internet. And if
this message reaches anyone involved in making the actual movie, I thank you as well for
you efforts.
What's a cloth monkey?
I wonder if our concerns about personal freedom are
focused on the correct target. That is to ask, how do we defend ourselves from the
tele-marketers when the tele-marketers are the telephone companies? Here I am enjoying the
fruits of technological growth, but I would gladly have plastered Bill Gates with the
whipped cream pie. Ah, well, maybe I am a Luddite at heart.
i am a ambient animal i want to be hugged by judy tenuta,
hug hug hug...what a smile YAY YAY cloth monkeys goth junkies IM AM A PYGMY MARMOSET
CALLED UNGA BOO! love me...i have a book, wanna read it? i have a cult, wanna be in
it...be sweet to me
YOU'RE SO COOL :)
WHAT???? You want to get rid of the mohair subsidy??? You
crazy nut!! :)
Stumbled on you while looking for another Wizard
subscriber. We seem to be philosophical soulmates.
I need more informations about Revell Germany
Well, Whoopie! What a naughstalgic run of images. You are
of my era (my temporal accumulation differential equals that of Disneyland and McDonalds)
and ran across your connect via a search on Revell models. I can't explicitly say I am
Libertarian, but I do like it when left alone by the powerfully incompetent. I have
several years past avoided any beverage which can be lit on fire, but my ancestory
includes being 3/4 English, 1/4 German and 1/5 Scotch. I didn't realize that I wondered
where the Gemini mock-up ended-up until your page, so THANKS for reminding me. (how do you
punctuate combination of gratitude and sarcasm simultaneously?) I, too, love San Fran,
having spent 7 years out of my 20s and 30s within an hour or so drive of it. I'll be back
to this page often, if for nothing else (and there will be 'else') to read the new
readers' entries like mine.
Wonderful page,who would have thought you could win a
genuine space artifact? On the subject of spacecraft models,does anyone out there know the
history and whereabouts of the spacecraft models displayed outdoors at Brisbane,s World
Expo '88?From memory there was a Mercury capsule,Gemini capsule,Space Shuttle,Astronaut
with MMU etc.
Great Site..Came across it looking for address of Gene
Cernan.Can you help me? Long story, but did a special photo assign. for him during launch
of 17. For the record,I worked at cape Canaveral from 1956 to 1970.Started before NASA got
there.Can anyone help me with Genes address. Thanks ED.
I did the throw away vote thing about a year ago after
reading Harry Browne's book. It's amazing how people react so negatively to the term
"libertarian" until you start explaining your positions. Nobody likes what the
government is doing to us, but few are willing to choose between the party of more
government and the party of less more government. I feel as radicalized as I did when I
was in SDS in the 60's, and I live in the suburbs with my family in a very comfortable
life. The country my kids inherit will suck until these clowns are held responsible for
taking our rights and spending money we don't have. Thanks for the deckchairs, I've made
many of the same points orally' you make them cogently in a more permanent way. Keep up
the good work.
I forgot to mention i lived in Houston for 20 years. NASA,
in ClearLake south of town, melted into the econony and life of the Gulf Coast. So rubbing
elbows with former astronauts was pretty common. Guys like walt cunningham, alan shepherd,
and wally schirra went into business in the Houston area. You know what's really cool.
Shaking hands with a man whose been on the moon.
You're cool
The walls of my bedroom were smudged with the newsprint
from the articles i cut from the newspapers - at 6am before anyone in the house was awake
and could read about Explorer 1 and any other damned thing that flew. Living in fort worth
- my old man worked at what then bore the corporate name Convair next to Carswell AFB - I
loved airplanes and space. Forty years later I have returned to the Fort and rent a house
in the flight pattern of the base. While I miss the B-36, the late night scrambles of the
B-52's and the Hustler, B-58, nothing can beat the variety of fighters now flying from the
combined reserve base. Mostly f-16, f-18 and an occassional f-14. I read the Tom Swift
series, even some about jr's old man, but I am most loyal to Tom Corbett, Space Cadet.
This set is even rarer than the Swift series. I recently found copies of Stand By Mars and
The Space Pioneers. SBFM was the first book I read in my life, and for that reason as well
as the memories of life in the early space age - an atomic powered space cruiser filled
with vacuum tubes - I would like to find the remainder of the series. I am especially
interested in The Revolt On Venus, perhaps the best of the bunch.
In 1965 I was a young sailor on the USS Wasp. We did the
pickups for GT-4 and GT-6 & 7.. I was thilled to see the spacecraft up close and meet
those great guys. Your site brings back a lot of happy memories.. RT<>
I share your excitement over the early space program.
Sadly, I was born after it had all concluded. I do alot of research on the topic and am
jealous of everyone that was able to live through it all. Consider yourself lucky!
Really enjoyed looking around your site. Just about
everything I saw was something I was intereseted in.
Great web page! I just finished watching Apollo 13,(for
the 13th time), I have crossed paths with Jim Lovell as well, but didn't get to shake his
hand. Have you washed it yet?
Wow! A Tom Swift site! From age 10 to 14 those books
inspired me! In fact They're probably one of the reasons I ended up working for NASA.
Thanks!
Hey! I'VE got an Alexandra Wentworth web page! And it's
pretty cool! Everyone HAS to go! NOW!
Finally! Another human being that remembers (and aptly
appreciates)Jan Smithers! Now we need websites of her... many photos!! Forget Jennifer
guys, gimme Bailey Quarters!!
Dude, your site has been duly bookmarked! Anybody who can
put Jan Smithers and Daria together in one page is a totally decent huperson being! Oh
yeah, real good stuff all around!
If I had shaken Jim Lovell's hand, I still wouldn't have
washed my hand yet, either!! Any ideas how to get a letter to Mr. Lovell?
Wow, you're a Libertarian too? Cool, since I am one of 178
registered Libertarians in Colorado. OK, so the primary elections are dull. Anyhow, I was
doing a websearch for that amazingly sexy and quirky babe Alexandra Wentworth. Do you
remember her bit on Jay Leno when she drove the $3 Cadillac cross-country? I still
remember that -- as goofy as she acts -- she displayed an amazing butt when demonstrating
how a woman can get on-the-road mechanical assistance...
From one Libertarian to another thanks! You've said it
better than I could ever say it. I'm also glad that my agency (State Dept.) is not on your
deckchair list - I would be mortified!! Most importantly thank you for bringing Jan
Smithers back from undeserved obscurity. "Bailey Quarters" was always sexier
than Loni Anderson and Herb Tarleck was too stupid to see it. Anyways greetings to all
froM China where the Cloth Monkey has a new disciple.
to quote johnny carson, "wild! wild and wacky
stuff!"
Wow! you are right, Kari is cute. But, I'm married also
(bummer). Please visit my favorite web site: free-market.net
Top 10 Deck chairs. Scary yet funny. I think most people
are libertarians, they just don't realize it yet. Spread the word, thunderbird! CAW!
I enjoyed your websight concerning the astronauts. My dad
was the Command Module pilot on Apollo 14. I miss him. Thanks for considering the
astronauts your "heroes". I do too!
Calista Flockhart is GREAT! Hope she gets a Website soon
with pix. Good luck to her.
I think the next hoax that you should investigate is the
myth about the ozone hole and the effect that a substance eight times heavier than ambient
air at sea level (CFC's) could be having on the ozone layer. Junk science? Probably!
I want to be an astronaut and am doing reacherch on the
frist space programes I think it cool that pepole are still instrested in things that are
"old news" like the gemini mission they relly played a big part onthe future of
the space program
WHOOOHEE! I'm a cloth monkey. Calista Flockhart... Hadn't
heard of her until I was forced to watch Abby McBeal (because my normal show was a rerun).
I am proud to be a Cloth Monkey member now. I agree that there are way too many drooling
web-sites out there. Anyways. Take care.
An interseting and fun article about childhood memories.
I am amazed at how quickly I feel myself transported back
to my childhood dreams, and that feeling of giddy amazement knowing that some new and
thought shattering discovery was just about to happen, at least that's how I remember
feeling as I stayed up night and day watching the simulated news casts of the Apollo space
missions. Thanks for the updates, I'll be checking back often! --Buck
Hey Scott, Nice Page. Give my email to laurel! hugs. judy
The only babe that I could recognize was Fabiana Udenio.
She played "Alotta Fachina" in Austin Powers. Are there any other web sites that
include her? Scott
Loved your story of discovering TSJr. I was 8 yrs old when
the first three were published. I "had" to read one for a Cub Scout badge
requirement --- all the others I read because I was totally captivated. Through various
careers I ended up a writer and some of the best (and worst) experiences I've had were
writing one TS title in the '80s series (Gateway to Doom) and two in the Byron Preiss set
(Microbots and Mutant Beach). The former was all mine (and done for Harriet Adams). The
latter two were done off horrendously bad outlines furnished by someone in the BP
organization who had no sense of what ought to be in the books -- but I wrote them because
it was TS (it sure wasn't for what they paid!) My son is just getting into the Hardy Boys
-- can't wait to see if he takes to TS as I did. I hope this isn't a taste that skips
generations! Best... Bob Vardeman
Excellent Page!!! I think you've convinced me once and for
all that libertarianism is the least ridiculous political position one can take on any set
of issues. I'm a former liberal who has finally woken up to the fact that you can't solve
problems simply by throwing money at them. I would just like to take this opportunity to
apologize to the rest of my country for voting for Clinton in 1992. I was a typical 22
year old with no real life experience, and I bought the whole line of bull. I truth I
think I've always had libertarian leanings, but until recently I've always tended to
ignore them. I've never particularly liked paying taxes for which I never see any
practical benefit, but I had always felt that this was a small inconvenience to put up
with in order to keep the scarier elements of the Republican Party in Check (Christian
Coalition, Buchanan, etc.) Recently I have not been able to rationalize my hatred for
right-wing authoritarianism with my reluctant acceptance of the left-wing variety. As an
active hunter, fisherman, and all-around lover of the outdoors, I still have some
reservations about laissez-faire environmental policies, but on the whole I don't think
anyone could do a better job of screwing up our national forests than the government has
done. Anyway this is a pretty small area of disagreement compared to the litany of
idiocies espoused by the two major parties. I also really enjoyed your sense of humor in
presenting your take on these issues. Thanks again for a great contribution to the web in
general. Keep it up!!!
.
Good Stuff! I especially liked the SSA == Ponzi scheme
bit; I've been saying that for years. I'll add a link to you on my page, which probably
will do nothing for you... Continue the good fight.
Your Deckchairs page is excellent, although I personally
would have lead off with the BATF, since they are actively involved with falsely accusing,
imprisoning and even killing folks who have done nothing more than be suspected of owning
"illegal" weapons. Nevertheless, a site well worth bookmarking.
TANSTAAFL! Brian
Whitehurst
SO GLAD I STOPPED IN ,INJOYED IT SOOOO MUCH
Stumbled across your page while checking out user pages on WizardNet. Can't say I dig your politics, but the section on diplomatic license plates is
interesting...
Look, I don't wanna debate the whole "who killed
Kennedy" thing. I have my own thoughts but no real proof for anything beyond what's
out there. But one thing always bothers me about theories that include ANY kind of
coverup, especially any involving the KNOWLEGE of so many people: it seems to me to be
impossible to keep it quiet. I mean, look at all the stuff that's planned from the START
to be coverups, and they always leak out!
Thouroughly enjoyed reading your "deck-chair"
articles. Please review my webpage at the url address shown and email me. I, too, am a
recent convert to Libertarianism. An article will appear in the next issue of
"Liberator" with my byline and picture. See you in the funny papers.
This site is a sign that rational thinking (and the
willingness to engage in it) is not completely exhausted in the U.S. How long can it last?
Enjoyed your story about the letter from Victor Appleton
II's secretary. I also wrote on 2 occasions are received replies to both letters. Was
devastated when I learned VAII was a ghost! However, 4 years ago I started reading the
series to my 9 year old son. It took 3 years, with the summers off, but we got through
them all (up to #28, which was the last one I had). I just finished your essay "The Top Ten Deckchairs
on the Federal Titanic" at
Lack of (good) web pages - preach on brother! I haven't
found anything for Alexandra yet, but i did find an Alexandra Wentworth email address on
aol. I don't know if it's the same one, but i've got my fingers crossed.
need a single guys section so women can meet them
You ought to read Crime of the Century: The Lindbergh
Kidnapping Hoax (Branden Books) by Gregory Ahlgren and Stephen Monier. I'm one of those
people you hate who believe Hauptmann was innocent and that the Mafia did kill our
President. Your website is obnoxious, not because you have different beliefs, but because
you are SO SURE of everything.
This will probley be the stupidest satistic you'll ever
hear. 7% of the people in the world beleive that Elvis is still alive. When he died of a
drug overdoose they found his body DEAD. Why would anyone beleive that he's alive? So add
that to your satistics. Elvis is alive-7% Elvis is dead-93%
I am trying to start a Libertarian organization for expatriots, here in Costa Rica. I would appreciate all the advise and support I can get.
Thanks
Tom Swift Rocks! I enjoyed reading your info on Tom Swift.
I thoroughly enjoyed your "Deckchairs" page. I
have a Christian and Libertarian page which contains numerous links. A link to your page
will be included next time I update my page. This should be in a few days. Remember:
"Ask not what your government can do for you. Ask what your government can do TO
you."
Great site, always fun to come back and see whats new.
Your writing on the Lindbergh trial seem to violate your
"ideals" about reason and logic: The fact that the Aunt didn't commit the crime
doesn't mean Hauptmann is THE man. Suppose he is involved in the crime, there are still
valid doubts. If he is not alone, who are the other guys? Why did the authority decide not
to pursude others. If he is in fact alone, why didn't this "greedy baby killer"
name a few names out of the blue, make up a fancy story, and collect $90,000 or even
bargain for a lesser sentence? After all, he had nothing to loose. If you are such a
outstandingly smart guy, maybe you can find some answers to the questions before you call
everyone a fool. K. Christian Moore
it's a long time since i heard from the goddess
The Top Ten Deckchairs is an excellent writeup, though you
could mention the BATF. Very good information, intelligently presented. Thank you.
I was searching on Gemini Spacecraft and found your page
by accident. What a surprise! I too am a space junkie. I Collect mainly "retro"
stuff. I still have my origional Saturn V(Revel) and its still in mint condition. Your
story about making your own spacecraft reminds me of the time I was about 10 and built a
spacecraft out of a box our washing machine came in. I used a matrix of christmass lights
taped behind a piece of cardboard that had holes punched for the light to shine through.
It was an exact copy of the Apollo control pannel I got out of a book. I used vacum
cleaner hoses to simulate the oxygen hoses. A walkie-talkie mounted on the bulkhead served
as the comm. The flight proceeded normally untill the heat from the lights caught the
cardboard of fire and I had to abort the mission. Bailing water out of the basement sump
pump put out the fire and also shorted out the electricity in our house. My dad grounded
me for a week for catching the basement on fire. Thanks for your web site and bringing
back this great memory :-)
I would like to start by complimenting this website. It's
great to see other people who are interested in the space program and everything the USA
accomlished in those early days. I am one of the biggest Apollo fans around. I am
fortunate to be able work for a company in which Gene Cernan is partial owner. Because of
this, I have been able to personally meet Gene, get a personalized autograph, and a
picture with Gene. All of this has happened recently. I have also meet Buzz Aldrin and
received his autograph. I have an autographed picture of Jim Lovell, but unfortunately I
have not been able to meet him, YET. I had an opportunity a while back when Jim was doing
a book signing here in the Houston area, but duties called and I could not make it to the
signing. Jim Lovell is probably my favorite Apollo astronaut, although I admire every one
of them, especially the ones that made the trip to the moon. John Young and Alan Bean live
in this area, boy would it be neat to meet them and get their autographs. John Young still
works at NASA (Johnson Space Center). You can see some of Alan Bean's paintings at the
Johnson Space Center, as he is an avid painter. I have just recently starting receving the
internet service, so this is one of my first correspondence. I would invite any interested
parties to correspond with me via e-mail. I would be glad to discuss any Apollo related
subjects, Mercury program, Gemini program and such. Good Day:):):)
Three cheers on the Deke Slayton page. I want more!
There's hardly a word about Deke on the net. I'd make a home page BUT have not got the
gear for it yet. Any Deke fans out there interested in emailing? Great site! Nancie
Just came across your site. Wish I had found it earlier in
the evening because I have shut down for tonight. Believe me it will be the first site I
go to tomorrow. I've had a terrific few minutes. Thank you!!!
Appreciate your efforts. They are superb.
Looked under Revell,...just surfin'at lunchtime and found
your way cool site. I never really wondered who won that spacecraft, I just knew that my 3
entries didn't get the object I desired with all the fiber of my being. Absolutely MADE MY
DAY to find out who really won that thing and of course the trip down memory lane was
certainly unexpected. I also have-not the original- but a second model of that GEMINI
spacecraft still, and you know what? Those darn little ball-things (oxygen sphere tanks)
were just as hard to attach to that bracket assembly as they were the FIRST time around!!!
Cloth Monkey goes in my bookmarks. Take Care and thanks for the memories. RONCO.
It was like reading my own thoughts. Great page.
I too entered the Revell Gemini contest. Didn't win
either. But I still have my Gemini!
Good God. How is it that an intelligent, not to mention
well-educated, person like myself can't come up with a web page that is funny,
intelligent, and thought-provoking is beyond me. My page consists of baby pictures. The
moral: leave this kind of stuff to the professionals, like you. In other words, great
page.
I'm a big Tom Swift fan, and was pleased to see your site.
What a neat place to get lost in.
I went to school in Winona, at Winona State University and
lived on a boathouse on latsch island. I enjoyed reading about a familiar subject..
This is an awsome page man! I worship Judy Tenuta. She is
the coolest woman n the world! I wish there was more on her though.. She is SO COOL! Well
thanks for having the info C-Ya! Write me man!
Love it!!! I miss "The State" very much (and I
always hada thing for Thomas Lennon...although I'm old enough to be his mom!
Interesting site...although the "the" with
"the hoi polloi" is superfluous...who's supercilious now?
cloth monkey? wunky bunky fafa time for breakfast
As a coffe grower, I take great pride in our
accomplishments, ie: Crushed France in Six Days!
Cool site, dude!
I was doing a web search on the Gemini program and the ad
for the full sized model popped up. I knew right away that we were about the same age (I
turn 40 on June 4) It instantly took me back 30 years. I used to fire our coal furnace and
was paid 3 bucks a week, spent it all on comic books. Superman, Batman, Uncle Scrooge....I
must have entered that damn contest twenty times. Never thought about the capsule any more
until now. Tell you what, I have a truck...let's go to Portland and steal it from the
museum and share custody :) Your story about the chair and the instrument panel brought me
back to my own "capsule" - a weird little closet with a chimney through it,
making it of no use for storage. I turned an old chair on its back in there and had
various old radios and so forth. Anyway, thanks for brightening up my day. Oh, by the
way...the Vox guitar, if it was the teardrop shaped one, I had one. Also had a Kay
solidbody shaped like the state of Ohio or an axe. What memories!
i just finished reading your top ten deck chairs page.
excellent work! i loved it and would like to put a link to it on my home page. thanks for
the good read.
I love your web site. The list of Fed Agencies we can axe
is worth the price of admission alone. You should consider writing a book to sell on the
Open Market and make a buck or twelve. I have only looked at that one page (and got so
excited I felt i had to write you), and haven't seen the rest, but I'm bookmarking it and
intend to return to it often.
