To All Mark Twain Forum Members:
Several additions and updates have been made to the TwainWeb, the Mark Twain
Forum's official site ( http://www.yorku.ca/twainweb/ ), including new
photos
and links to other related sites. Other changes and additions will be made
in the months ahead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ILASCO REUNION IN HANNIBAL, MO
Mary Leah Christmas and her husband were guests at the recent Ilasco-Marble
Creek-Stillwell Reunion in Hannibal. There she met the author of two books
she has reviewed for the Mark Twain Forum. She also met the families whose
sometimes tumultuous histories have been documented in Dr. Gregg Andrews's
books. Photos from the reunion are now available in the TwainWeb's Photo
Gallery at:
http://www.yorku.ca/twainweb/ilasco/

MARK TWAIN FORUM PHOTO GALLERY
Just a reminder that photos of Mark Twain Forum members or Twain-related
events are always welcome in our photo gallery. Along with your picture(s),
you may also list an e-mail link, and your Web site address (personal or
Twain-related sites only please). If you wish to submit a photo, please
contact web editor Taylor Roberts mailto:[log in to unmask] or Kevin
Bochynski mailto:[log in to unmask]

MARK TWAIN'S GREATEST ADVENTURE
Also new in the photo gallery is a link to the official Web site of "Mark
Twain's Greatest Adventure," a science fiction-fantasy feature motion
picture currently in pre-production. Mark Twain (Ron Masak) will travel
through time with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Ken Howard), H.G. Wells, and Jules
Verne (further casting details coming soon.) The site may be accessed via
our photo gallery or directly at:
http://www.twaingreatestadventure.com

THE R. KENT RASMUSSEN WEB SITE
If you have ever wondered who R. Kent Rasmussen is and how his interest in
Mark Twain led him to publish his award winning_Mark Twain A to Z_, _Mark
Twain's Book for Bad Boys and Girls_, and _The Quotable Mark Twain_, you
will definitely want to check out Rasmussen's Web site-in-progress at:
http://pages.prodigy.net/arkent
Kent's Web site reveals much about the author. In addition to his
publications on Mark Twain, he has authored books on Africa and United
States history. He hints that the hundreds of entries omitted from _Mark
Twain A to Z_ (due to space considerations) may eventually be available
electronically on his Web site.
He may be the only Mark Twain scholar to have appeared as a JEOPARDY
contestant--and soon as a contestant on WIN BEN STEIN'S MONEY on Comedy
Central. (As soon as we know the date of Kent's appearance on the show, we
will announce it on the Forum.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MARK TWAIN FORUM T-SHIRTS
A new supply of our Mark Twain Forum t-shirts has arrived. They are the
same classic design in brilliant gold and are available in Large or Extra
Large. If you have owned your shirt for a while, it may be time to order a
new one. The price is still just $12.95, which includes postage and
handling. Profits from the sale of the shirts are donated to the Mark Twain
Project.

****WANT TO ORDER A T-SHIRT USING A CREDIT CARD?***
I am now able to accept credit card orders using PayPal on the Internet.
PayPal is a free service. If you sign up for PayPal, you will receive a $5
credit for doing so. (You can immediately apply the credit toward your
purchase of the t-shirt.) If you list me as your referrer, I will receive a
$5 referral credit which will also be donated to the Mark Twain Project.
If you decide to sign up for PayPal and want to list me as your referrer,
simply insert my e-mail address ([log in to unmask]) in the "Email address
