[R-390] Nolan Lee etc.

[Barry Hauser]

Actually, he's based in Sun, Louisiana.  Might have ventured too far South
and got kidnapped by Cajuns or maybe some swamp dwellers, I dunno.  Or maybe
it was N'Orleans -- too far down Bourbon St. at night or Algiers.  Or maybe
he drank some bad likker at a fai-do-do.  Nobody knows.  "Dueling
anjos"?  -- What was that movie with Burt Reynolds?  Or maybe the other one,
"Southern Comfort" with the Army or National Guard troop that disappeared in
the bayou.

Also fearful that they get some pretty bad weather there -- hurricanes,
tornadoes.  We've had nothing but rain for more than a week here in the NYC
area, so maybe we'll be swamp people soon.  I probably should check the
e-thing under pierots or whatever those boats are called -- get one while
they're still reasonable.

Anyway, Nolan's input is sorely missed.
