ELVIS HAS NOT LEFT THE BUILDING - Here is proof positive that The Schooner....in his younger days....was a dead ringer for the "King of Rock 'n Roll".....or at least Conway Twitty?? ....or Billy J. Kramer??? No doubt he, Weege and Roy were plotting the theft of tungite or a decimator when this pic was taken. This is from Houstoncon '74. Note the salt and pepper already appearing in the Bon sideburns and the carton of Luckies on the dresser behind Schooner!!

KESSLER IN ACTION - Ken snapped several color behind the scenes pix during the shooting of Captain America at the University of Houston and later that day (--until his collarbone was broken!!--). Here is Kessler in the mid-leap!!

ROY'S MEMORY SHOP - How many hours did we all spend here??!! I painted the original sign, Glenn built the fixtures and together he and I painted the red and blue letters on the windows. A real sign painter painted the yellow text. Circa 1971.

SUPERBOY MEETS SUPERMAN - Here's Ken Donnell posing with Kirk Alyn at Houstoncon 71. Kirk held the all-time record for five Houstoncon appearances. '71 was his first convention...ever. BTW, check out some of the one-sheets for sale at Roy's table behind Ken: Bedlam, Captain America, The Lone Ranger, an early Tim McCoy, Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum, Disney's The Reluctant Dragon and Gangster's Boy. That's Weege peeking out from behind Ken....

Here's Scott hard at work at one of Don Maris' Dallas shows....

Yours truly palavering with Margie at Glenn's table in Memphis...

In Dallas with a Lee Van Cleef impersonator. I told you this guy would go straight to da cops......
What is Ken is playing?
