That was great Kim.

I especially liked the druggist's slogan: "Carefully compounded at all hours of the day and night"

How many overdosing movie stars do we all know who could have avoided expensive Rehab, had they only minded this line?

Below are phone numbers, names and addresses of all* business within
about a one-mile radius of Hill and Third [the book was published in

Hey, I don't sleep with crossbow, machete and Mossberg because zombies are *

But yes, I'm glad you liked my drawing, and I can do a whole history of
zombie attacks on the Hill by H'ween.
Heck, maybe we should get a gang of us together and corpse ourselves up and
go attack California Plaza...the ghosts of Bunker Hill, returning for

Funny you should mention that. Here is a mezzotint taken from an

Hi Tim,
You may be having problems if you are using the AOL browser. If you
have access to an alternate browser (Firefox is a good free one), try
that. Alternately, you can send the text file to myself or Nathan and
we can try to upload it as a page.

Haven't run across a frontview photo of both Astoria and Hillcrest,
so thanks for clearing that up. I can sleep again now. Thanks also for

auction it for millions on eBay.

September 11, 1961 (what, was the HIllcrest Bunker Hill's WTC?) with Richard
