THE LATEST ASYLUM
E. Tomlinson Fort, the editor of our print journal, The Asylum,
writes: "It has been wonderful to see all the outpouring of good
wishes for George Kolbe and his family during these fire
disasters in California.While the Kolbe's remain in our prayers let us not forget the
thousands who have lost homes and possessions during this
tragedy. Also, stop and remember the firemen who are daily
risking their lives battling these fires. On National Public Radio
yesterday they interviewed a fireman who had been on the
front line 36 hours without break for either food or sleep.
During the interview he was finally getting a chance to have
some breakfast which would be followed by a few hours sleep.
These men and women are the true heroes of this crisis and
they deserve thanks and generosity of the entire country.On a happier note, The Asylum is on its way to the printer
and should be arriving in people's mailboxes within the next
fortnight. The contents are:"Recollections of D. Wayne Johnson" as told to Pete Smith.
"Ghostwriting in Numismatics," by David W. Lange.
