Fwd: new kids
Hi there! Thanks for the warm welcome Roxy!
This is Paul, (the real fan). I'm 32 years old and live in PA.
I've been following Roddy ever since I was six years old and saw Beneath
the Planet of the Apes. (yes, I know he didn't act in it, but he WAS in the
opening sequence!...Beware the beast man...) since then 've been trying
to collect anything related to the Apes films and Roddy. I have several
signed pictures, and a couple signed trading cards. the closest I've even
gotten to Roddy was about 75 miles. He was performing DIAL M FOR
MURDER in Cleveland and I got that close before I had to cancel for the
show. Of course, I did get to drive near his house when I was in LA this
summer, but he wasn't there. :(
Well, enuf about me, who else is in this ayslum?
Fwd: New in the neighborhood...
Hello there!
> For one thing, we've got a whole heap of new list members --
> some of whom may not have gotten around to saying hello yet...
I can take a hint!! Here I am!
> 30 Laura Kramer.....................UALK@tops.ua.ncsu.edu
Or, since that's a bunch of gobbledy-gook, I'm also
laura_kramer@ncsu.edu
I've been on the list for 1 day, so I don't know how much detail
you'd like about me, but I'll give it a go...
I'm 27 (as of last week!), and have been a fan of RM for _ever_, it
seems. I used to cry if my mom made me go to bed before the Planet
of the Apes TV show was over, so I was pretty young I guess. I live
in North Carolina, and work for the state government developing
achievement tests for students. I have a husband, 2 dogs, and 4
cats. My hobbies are collecting stamps; teaching dog obedience
(companion level), and training my Lab for competition in Agility and
Obedience; reading mysteries, sci-fi, and fantasy; and scouring the
TV listings and video store for RM shows and movies. He's been doing
a lot of cartoons recently - I thought I recognized his elegant,
well-modulated tones on the Red Planet "miniseries" last weekend!
My favorite RM stuff is the PA movies, when he was the devil on
Fantasy Island, and Tales of the Gold Monkey. I think I was the only
kid in the 9th grade who was more enamored of RM than of Stephen
Collins. ;-)
I _almost_ had a RM-encounter, but that'll wait for another day...
'nuff said. Not to be rude, but who are the rest of you?
Glad to be here!!

Hi, Laura!
I have a friend/pen pal in Hickory, North Carolina who loves Roddy as
much
as we do! How far are you from Hickory?

Hi Dana!
> as we do! How far are you from Hickory?
I think it's about 3 hours west of me. I live about half-way between
Chapel Hill and Burlington (which is also about half-way between
Raleigh and Greensboro, in case your map doesn't have dinkier
cities). Hickory is up towards the mountains - beautiful country up
there, especially in the fall. Tell your friend that you want to
come visit in October. ;-)
Hope this hits before the system goes down. Have a great weekend,
everyone!
:-) Laura

Welcome, I'm Kyoko (brademan @ halcyon.com) from Seattle, WA.
Although I'm a little older than you, I know what you mean about
liking RM better than Steven Collins. RM was my favorite from the
mid 60' on. Friends though I was weird, although I did love the
Beatles. I have a husband and a young son. I'm a real estate agent
and you can see my web page at halcyon.com/brademan/kyoko.html.
I'm a movie buff in general and I've met Roddy twice. Several of
this RM group have met him recently.
By the way, I did meet Steven Collins in 1981 at the first Sundance
Institute and he was a really nice guy.
I hope you enjoy this group of ours and although I don't write
often, I do enjoy everything we share among us.
Kyoko

Hello
My name is Heather Lei Guzzetta (guzzetta@pogonip.scs.unr.edu).
I am 18. I love Roddy McDowell (surprise surprise). I have my account
through a class so it will be cancelled but when I go off to college I
will get another one. I currently live in Elko NV but will be moving to
Vegas. I am in my freshman year at Great Basin College(a community
college). I am going for a major in Musical Theater and a minor in
journalism. I think. I live with my 14 year old sister and mom. We
have 2 cats named Skye and Bonnie, a dog named Ryah, a boy bird named
Chicker and a boy fish named Damion(my sisters). I love the Posiedon
Adventure but have a hard time watching his death. I will tell you
about the cruel trick the back of the video played on me later. My
family has banned him from our house when they are there. They
are sick of hearing about him. I love his gentle eyes, sweet smile
and soft accented voice. He seems like a very nice, understanding
and caring man. If he isn't I never want to find out. I would rather
Santa Claus be a jerk than him. I am not married, engaged
or even dating. I definately don't have any kids. though I want a lot
of them when I am older. I imagine that RM would be the kind of man
I could go for. I don't think anyone really knows who I am either. I
can't remember how long I have been on. A few months at least. To
get personal info you pretty much have to ask for it. This is about all I
can think of to say for now. If you want more info ask and if you want
me to shut up you will have to tell me. Once I talk to a person I pretty
much never stop. Just ask Sally. Everyone here is pretty nice. Nobody
has told me to get lost so far and everyone has been helpful. I am going
to go crazy not having access over the summer. If you want to talk I
will probably be available if they don't lock the lab up.

Fwd: Who am I??
For those who are new to this group and those who aren't.
I'm -- years old and my husband Paul is a few months younger than I. ;-)
We have a three and a half year old daughter named Heidi (hell on
wheels). I'm a stay at home Mom for the time being. My birthday is
September 10, 19--, just in case anybody wants to send me a present. :)
I'm into everything and anything personal about RM. Even so far as
wanting to know if he wears boxers or briefs. ;-) I've met Roddy twice
during his tour of 'Dial M For Murder'(see my encounters on the website),
but never got to ask him about his underwear. Anybody else that had an
encounter(near or far) with RM, please feel free to have them added to
the website. I'll nag Roc until she gets them on!
My husband is one of those computer nerds. He's the one that goes to
work every morning and comes home to sit at the computer for the rest of
the night. He rarely adds his two cents to the group but stands by
PowWow(Internet Relay Chat) when I'm waiting for a call. BTW, I use
his work account for access to the Internet and e-mail. Hey, it's free.
Any questions?
...Sally..

Hello Paul and Nancy,
(carbon to RMGROUP)
My name is Kris Birch. I'm the Roddy McDowall mailing manager, among
many other things.... I've noted you eMail address and that you use
Nauticom to access the WWW. Where in P.A. are you ?? I'm located in the
North Hill just out side of Pittsburgh P.A. If I remember right Nauticom
serves the 412 area code - that puts you in my back yard - so to say...
I work for Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) at the North
Campus. I'm the LAN Admin for the Admin, student and eMail servers. Since
I have control over the server here I offered to Roc to start a mailing
list to the fan club. If the college ever gets me that &^%#$# unix box
I've been asking for we could have a real listserv going....
I too have been a fan of Mr. Roddy McDowall since I saw him 1 time
in the movie Lord Love a Duck. I was around 7 years old or so... My
mother had just that day bought for me a small black and white TV set for
my room. Little did she know by that one act, she would change my life
so. I look the TV under the covers in bed that night. I turned it on, and
there he was, Roddy McDowall, looking at me. I never saw that movie again
until I was 33. Two months ago a fellow list member (thanks Judie!)
turned me on to a movie club that has Lord Love a Duck on video for
sale... Need I say more...
I saw Mr. McDowall in person when I was 13 years old. He played in
the production of Charlies Aunt here at the Hall in Pittsburgh. It was a
long time ago, but I can still see his face. When I was 14 I begged my
parents to do the family vacation in England. I wanted to see where the
man came from. That was the best vacation I ever had - to this day and
I've been all over the place...
I came this close to seeing him again in the Dial M play - same one
that your talking about. Sally really helped me out and gave me all kinds
of info. BUT, things here at work are no going that good. I decided that
I could not risk being out of town even just for that night...
One way or another, I'll see Mr. McDowall one more time before one
of us dies - I can't believe that God would be so cruel as not to allow
me...
Well, I could go on forever, but thats that... Again, welcome to the
group, you'll fit right in...
Thank you,
Kris Birch
LAN Administrator, CCAC-North
