Topic: lots going on!
Well, in 5 more days, we'll be setteling into a new place in Banning CA. Banning is a small desert community close to Palm Springs. I"ve been packing all day, & am using my father's 'puter for all e-mail.
In a few more days, I'll be able to watch the PF 2nd season on DVD & watch Popstar, but right now, everything electronic is boxed up except a TV. Luckily, I was able to watch AMERICAN GOTHIC before it was packed away, & Shaun's commentary on the pilot is worth the price! I've heard that ABC may be releasing Season 1 of Invasion sometime next year, & if they can recruit Shaun again, I'd be willing to pay in advance!
Well, gotta Run! My next blog entry should be from my new "office" in Banning. If you are a member of FOTC, please expect a delay in the newsletter. It's such a small town, the nearest Kinkos is at least 25 mins away!

Well, just a few more days until American Gothic appears on DVD, & just in time for Halloween (By The Way-Steven King also suggests INVASION as a perfect Halloween show in Entertainment Weekly!) It seems so long since I ordered American Gothic when it was first announced, & I can't believe it is finally here!

I had the good fortune of being able to attend David’s next-to-last concert, at the Ft. McDowell Casino in AZ. Doris & I flew in a day early & found a “oldies” radio station, & even heard the concert advertised. I checked out the local news channels, but nothing about David being on. Friday morning, I was up listening to the station, & heard they were having trivia contests to win “front Row” tickets to the concert
(Front Row? To a General Admission concert?), along with a Pass for the Meet & Greet & tried to get through with no luck. They also talked about an interview they did with David, which I missed, even though I’d been listening all morning. The day dragged, while we laid out our concert outfits & puttered around, getting ready. Our friend was flying in from CA & we kept in touch by cell-phone. Our shuttle van came at 3& we wove our way through the casino. I lost $2 in the slots, and then we found our way to the admission line. Unlike 
Mohegan, there were only a few people in line ahead of us. Luckily, there were benches to sit on in the shade while we waited. We chatted & took photos, until our friend showed up & Doris took her back to the motel to change, while I promised to hold seats. We found out that the front row was reserved for the VIPs & contest winners, while the surrounding seats were up for grabs. Two hours before the concert started, we were allowed in. They had a stand that had white Ft McDowell T-shirts, with David’s photo on the back. I thought they were for sale, but after saving 3 seats in the front row at the side of the stage, a kind person went back to get one for me. Then Doris & our friend showed up & were pleased at my seat selection. We chatted for the next 2 hours until Lisa finally announced the show & Lon & the band came out. Heartbeat was first, then came Point me in the Direction of Albuquerque. We all ran to the metal barrier, which held us away from the stage & any contact with David, to take photos, but the security guards kept trying to push us back. How Can I be Sure came next, & the opportunity for a lady who described herself as a “new fan” to jump the barrier & get to him. He treated her nicely, but warned the rest of the audience not to follow her example. This was followed by the slow version of Breaking Up is Hard to Do. A bouncy version of Summer Days came next, The acoustic set of I’ll Meet You halfway, No Reply, & Hide Your love away came next & he was 
having trouble with his “rented” guitar & had to settle for another—I think it was his electric guitar. He joked that it must be a sign from above to stop performing! He ended the set with the slow version of I think I Love you, which we all listened to respectfully. That merged into a bluesy guitar riff & Common Thief & Ain’t No Sunshine.
I saw her talking to Frank, the guitarist, & he fumbled with a cellophane bag & handed the guard something. She took the play-lists down & handed them to me with a few small white slivers. They were guitar pics with David’s Name! I shared them with my friends & we left very happy!

Hi! As you notice, we've changed changed from Homestead. I'm still getting used to this format, but hopefully, this new site will work. If you have any suggestions (nothing too technical, I'm still learning) & I will be adding new pages as space allows.
The August newsletter went out on thhe 15th, & September's, with Shaun's birthday, isn't too far off. I am personally also "on The Move," as our family plans to move to a new home sometime next month. Those of you who have E-mails will be receiving contact notices from me directly.
I am still working with Michele on getting the money for Jack's STAR together. We hope that Shaun, Patrick, Ryan & David, With the help of Shirley, will support their father's tribute. I hope that they can get together with all of us, their dedicated fans, can pool our resources & come up with an arrangement that will give Jack the tribute he deserves." Stay up-to date with Michelle at
