Good to hear Kirby that you are safe. I have been watching the scenario unfold
most of the week. One of the problems I see now is that all the people who were
told to evacuate that didn't are now having to be rescued which adds to the
already awful sitution officials are dealing with. We had our own "situation"
here in Chatsworth on Friday afternoon when a Metrorail train collided head on
with a freight train. The tracks where the accident occured run right alongside
my daughter's elementary school. In fact the grassy area that was shown on the
t.v. as the triage area was their playing field. We worried for years about
those track locations hoping that no train would ever jump the track and head
into a playing field with children on it. She is now in jr. high school about a
block up the road but was being picked up from volleyball practice exactly as
the trains collided. So, it was a mess and a very sad situation.
So, everyone take care out there and be safe!

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is doubtful that anyone on the list who really experienced
this storm is really even in a position to get this
post. There is no power. The upper Texas coast is a mess. Even though the
storm was actually not as bad as Texas officials had feared, nevertheless it
was awful. There is no power for almost 2 MILLION people. When people tell
you that everything in Texas is big, that includes power outages as well.
Flooding is widespread and is being complicated today by additional, non -
hurricane related rains caused by a cool front wringing moisture from the
coastal atmosphere. This means that the hurricane flooding is being hampered
in draining. There haven't been a lot
of deaths reported, but this may be because rescue teams cannot get into some
of the residential areas yet.
In short, it's a wreck.
Here in Austin we did not even get one drop of rain or any high wind. This was
a different scenario than the
one posited at the beginning of last week, when Austin was in the storm target
area.

First off... Hope every one in Texas is doing OK after the big blow...
Secondly, I was offered a trade today for an original release High Society one
sheet. It wasn't folded and had no NSS number. Other than that all the
printing on the bottom was correct for that poster.
It was 27x40 1/2. It was obviously trimmed on the bottom as the trim was not as
sharp as the other three sides. There was nothing indicating it was a reprint.
I explained to him that I felt it was a reprint but he insisted that he worked
at MGM and has had this poster since the mid-sixties and that it came from the
president's office. He also claimed to have sold another exactly like it,
unfolded. Another red flag I thought. Following all that the paper didn't feel
right either.
Anyone know of early reprints on this title or run across anything like this on
this title before? I'd like to be honest with the guy and tell him exactly what
he has.
I would appreciate any comments.
Many thanks,
Glenn T.
