: : : 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 (My first name, oops)
: See ya! DeWayne (Middle name, I like it better)

Thanks, DeWayne! I, too was very impressed with the Raiders
holster. Unfortunately I got a tremendous headache from the smell
of the leather. Powerful stuff, it is!!! I love my pants and shirts, too. The finest in adventure wear.

Your friend,

Dale Dassel
