:
: To all of my friends (you know who you are!) Here is a quick note
: to let you know what's become of me.

: On October 25, my brother's birthday, my grandmother was killed
: in a car crash, and my grandfather survived. We left immediately as
: soon as we received the phone call. I have been here in Warner Robins
: ever since, taking care of grandpa and keeping things running smooth
: here as best I can. My parents and brother are going to move here to
: live. Grandpa is okay and completely fine. It was really a shock to
: end last year that way. I have been working ever since, and making
: enough money to support my Indy endeavours.
: I will be leaving on March 15 to live in Las Vegas, Nevada with
: my best friend of 11 years, Steven Barnhart (my Jack Shannon). We will
: also be attending the year 2000 Wild West Arts Club International
: Convention, where I will be taking advanced bullwhip classes to
: improve my (basic) whip skills. I also hope to make contacts which
: would enable me to learn how to ride a horse (like Indy!). And lastly,
: but certainly not least, I hope to attend some sort of college where
: I would like to major in Geology (possibly topography of the American
: southwest) because I was SO inspired by Ulla Tornaes and her adventures with Indy. I think a Geologist could certainly find enough
: excitement and adventure as an archaeologist, right?
: I sent Steven my copy of Unicorns Legacy in order to convince him
: that we should make a trip to Utah to visit Sand Island and Mesa Verde. I would also like to hike down into the Grand Canyon. The future looks very bright!!! As a matter of fact, one of the last things grandma and I discussed was my going to Nevada and taking Geology. She told me that it was good and that I should do whatever
: makes me happy. I will carry her advice with me for the rest of my
: life. I hope everything works out.
: P.S.- I earned enough money to do a little Christmas shopping,
: too. I purchased a Filson travel bag, the Raiders holster, and another
: set of Indy shirt and pants from M.B.A. in London. Now I have the
: COMPLETE Indiana Jones outfit, with TWO sets of the clothing part,
: (shirts and pants) and I had my Herbert Johnson Poet steamed into the
: EXACT Raiders style, complete with the upturned side brims and the
: front brim snapped down. It looks really sharp!!! I am considering
: purchasing a 6-foot David Morgan bullwhip when I get to Vegas. (I
: like to have my 12-foot for wraps and cracking, and the 6-foot for
: target-cutting and such.)
: I would like to have as many Indiana Jones adventures as I can,
: and this is the best way I can think of to start. I hope your thoughts
: are with me, as mine are with you guys. I promise I will respond to
: this letter in a few days. (I'm using the computer at the library).
: I'm going to check out Ignatius Donnelly's Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. (yes, I'm STILL on my quest for the lost continent!) I promise
: that I will be a regular, full-time forum member again when I get to
: Las Vegas!!!

: Yours truly,

: Dale Dassel

: P.S.- I purchased Infernal Machine in December, but don't have a
: computer to play it on!!! Steve says that a friend of his
: has one that we can use. (Is it as cool as it looks?)
:
: P.S.S.- I think it is an OUTRAGE that they didn't get Jane Jacobs to
: voice Sophia Hapgood again!!! I read the credits in the game
: manual. (Tasia Valenza??? Who are they kidding???) Tell me
: guys, does she sound ANYTHING like Sophia from FOA? Please
: let it be so...

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. If you remember, I lost my little brother in a car accident on 3/14/98. I feel for you and hope that you and yours will be ok.

I got the Raiders gunbelt and holster for Chrismas. I'm very impressed with them. I still want to get the other two sets. At least the most expensive belt is out of the way. I also got the pants since I last saw you here, good stuff!

I'm glad to see you on here again. I hope even though you sound busy you'll still have time to come by every once in a while. Take care.
See ya! Jason
