Maurice Smith has had copies reproduced of the 47th book "The Crow
Flight". This is a paper back copy, but is very nice. Looks like the original book.
The last that I heard, they were $10.00 each plus shipping. These make nice gifts for the
grand kids.

Probably everyone has received a card about the video ($29.95) that Bob Farrar shot at the Reunion in San Antonio. It is not bad, but I wish that he had cut the snow out (made it blue or something) between the segments. If you are not on his mailing list, he can be contacted at:

Another video has been produced by Raines Video Productions. It is priced at $29.95 plus $2.00 S&H, for a total of $31.95. I just received this one. Good coverage of the Lackland AFB trip and the Banquet dinner. Not much else. If you did not get a notice, they can be contacted at:

Kem Sitterley recently lost his 24 year old grandson, Kemble R. Crowder, when he was
electrocuted at a boat dock gasoline pump.
Kem is on a crusade to find out about anyone who has been shocked or electrocuted
at a boat dock gasoline pump. If anyone has heard of such an incident, please contact him.
His objective is to get as much publicity as possible to help prevent this happening to
anyone else.
