My Tarzan doll. Never been out of the box!

A Tarzana, California, Chamber of Commerce
Gift Basket filled with donations from Danton Burroughs and Edgar Rice
Burroughs, Inc.
Bill Morse and I purchased the last two available baskets back in 1996 at the Dum-Dum. Bill complained to me that he had a hard time getting it back on the plane. He should have done what I did--pack it and as much stuff as possible in cartons and ship them home. |

A thank-you gift from Will Hagenlocher
and Beth Lester for helping them with the 1995 Dum-Dum in Rutland, Vermont.
Beth's mother is a quilter and she made this little quilt for me. The central picture is a silk screen of the art Joe created especially for the Rutland Dum-Dum. The panel is signed by Joe and Maureen O'Sullivan! |

A very merry Martian Christmas!
Greg Phillips drew this Christmas card for me back in 1975 when we worked together at Evans Furs in downtown Chicago. That's Tars Tarkas aboard that Martian flyer. His bag is full of weapons for all the good little Martian girls and boys... |

Christmas 2002.
Kathleen Burke, one of my coworkers at Loyola Press, made this card for me. She found a red G&D Tarzan the Terrible in a bookstore, purchased it hoping I wouldn't have it, and drew this card to accompany the gift. Of course I had one (one?? several!!) but I cherish that copy from her! It has an honored place in my collection. |
