By coincidence (!)-- I just spoke wth John Cocchi last night, who also appears in CAPTAIN CELLULOID! (John, of course, was part of that same group of film-fans.) (If I recall, Al Kilgore is also in the cast.) Cocchi pointed out to me that it will soon be the tenth anniversary of Alan Barbour's passing. He's hoping to get the Manhattan SONS OF THE DESERT to do a short tribute to Babour-- And run a chapter of CAPTAIN CELLULOID, at thier next meeting! That would be sort of neat, to see the old CAPTAIN up on a screen... So, if you know any of the New York Sons, give them a noodge! ;-) By the way, unless I'm mistaken, I hadn't heard about the Earl Blair CAPTAIN AMERICA. How long is it? Any idea of where one could see it? (CAP's my all-time fave super hero...) And, apprapos of, well, I don't know... ;-) You folks made me flash on Larry Ivie, who painted some covers for CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN and other monster mags, and who's also a talented writer, did a bunch of comic book work, and published and edited the wonderful MONSTERS AND HEROES magazine. Larry also made a bunch of "amateur films," even though he was already a working professional! (And, in fact, he makes a "guest appearance" in at least one of those Don Glut shorts, playing the Red Skull, battling Glut's Cap. (Which should not necessarily be confused with battling Cap's glutes.) Last I heard, Larry was in the Oakland, California area. If anyone has any idea of how to get in touch with him, I'd appreciate it! Best, Jim Burns, jameshburns2006@gmail.com

The great Cocchi tells me he's one of the hoods in a hood-- And that he appears in the credits as, "Rip Tide." (Gee whiz. What kind of film were thse fellas making?) ;-) Best, Jim
