I remember packing up the Rondo and mailing it to Sideshow's headquarters in California, using a name I got from a fellow fan here. I never heard anything back, and always felt, gee, I wonder if it got there. Cut to last week, when I found Sideshow's mammoth, inch-thick catalog in a pile of press releases and books that come in to my newspaper. Which is a pretty cool book, trust me. Anyhow,in the introductory pages are messages from Sideshow's president and photos of the company's headquarters in Thousand Oaks. Suddenly, there on Page Three is a picture of the main board room and displays of their action figures and models. And there -- if you look REAL closely -- is the Rondo, proudly displayed in a place of prominence! Can you see it? The first thing on the top shelf? How cool is THAT??? david david Rondo VI is here!

Forry is obviously slowed quite a bit but he seems sharp and funny, and I must confess I hadn't heard many of these stories before -- which as Forry followers know can be a rarity! All that said, check the mantle behind Forry. There's a Saturn Award, perhaps the Forry Award given by The Monster Bash, and yes, Forry's Rondo from a few years back for "Best Comeback,'' after he recovered from his illness: Forry on Bradbury david

Those Laemmle ceremonies by Gary and Sue Svehla at FANEX conventions were truly memorable, especially when the recipients were people like Janet Leigh, Alfred Hitchcock's daugher, Christopher Lee, Michael Ripper, Paul Naschy and so many other stars and horror legends.
