ecb, your comments make our hours/days of scanning and indexing seem all the more rewarding!

I'm so grateful to have this site - and especially the database.  I read your book 30 years ago, when it first came out and I have rarely been so moved by anything.  I even enjoyed reading the endnotes and bibliography!  Over the years I tried to find out as much as I could about the people covered by The Lost Boys, always realizing that unless I could find a way to secrete myself in the Beinecke Library - or maybe your basement - there would remain much material that would simply be out of my reach.  When the website first came up I was stunned - it was as if a long time dream had come true.  I'm a librarian and am always hearing about and using digital repositaries, but I do believe this is the best! 

I'm sorry for the recent outbreak of rudeness here in the forum.  You have always been so polite and helpful to all of us!
