: : 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...

: Very sorry to hear of your loss, but glad to see you're still out there. Keep us informed as to your progress, Dale, and best of luck. Regards. Michaelson

Thank you for your kind thoughts, Michaelson. It was very hard
on all of us. It will be better with the passage of time, I think.
I will be sure to keep you guys informed of my further adventures.
Talk to you later!!!

Yours truly,

-Dale Dassel
