Howdy everyone,

Are you ready for a FReepathon?

The state of our FR is strong!

Our big legal bill is now paid off and our budgetary requirements are now reduced. For the first time in our history, our monthly donations are now bringing in more than 50% of our quarterly budget! Thanks to our generous membership and the settlement with the City of Fresno, we now have a comfortable cash buffer and should have no problems meeting our coming tax payments and other obligations.

I've recalculated our estimated budget requirements for the remainder of the year and have posted them here:

We just completed the first loop of our nationwide tour and we had a great time! We traveled through eleven states in three weeks and FReeped with, met with and dined with FReepers in ten cities and from at least a dozen chapters. It's great to see all our old friends again and to meet new ones. Joining a gathering of FReepers is just like going a family reunion. Very warm and friendly and just like home. Thank you all so much for your gracious hospitality and friendship!

We hope to visit all fifty states and most of our chapters within the next year or so. We hope to visit our LA Chapter on the 1st of August to tour the Reagan Library. We hope to visit our San Diego Chapter sometime this month to welcome home the USS Ronald Reagan. We're also planning a Pacific Northwest Tour in August. In January, we're planning a trip across the South and down into Florida and then up the Eastern Coast to Washington, DC for the Free Republic George W Bush Inaugural Ball II!! Woo hoo!!

Well, with the war in Iraq all but concluded, the trial of the Butcher of Iraq about to start, and the election season heating up, I'm sure that FR is going to be THE place to be to get the very latest in news and conservative discussion in the coming months.

Thank you FReepers for making FR the premier conservative forum on the Internet!

Looking forward to the coming campaign season! Good luck to all and may the very best people be chosen to lead our great nation!

Thank God for our successes thus far in the war for freedom and may He guide us through to complete victory over tyranny and terrorism.

Thank you and may God bless you all.

Jim

Stan Laurel Memorabilia Fetches $36,000

LONDON - An auction of Stan Laurel memorabilia took in more than $36,000 Thursday from fans of the famous comedian.

"It was something of a sensation," said auctioneer John Anderson of the Anderson & Garland auction house in Newcastle, northern England. Laurel and his partner Oliver Hardy "just seem to command non-dwindling support and indeed seem to speak to a younger generation," he said.

The photographs and other items were put on sale by the British-born Laurel's nephew, Huntley Jefferson Woods, 81, who lives in northeastern England.

"I am very pleased at the way it has gone," Woods said. "I never expected that the pieces would go that high."

The total take of $36,800 quadrupled the auction house's pre-sale estimate of $9,000.

"I always feel a loss to part with things like this, but I am 81, and as I get older the collection becomes more difficult to look after," Woods said. "I was worried what would happen when I pass on, and at least they have been sold to collectors who will care for them."

Among the items sold was a silver hip flask Laurel got from his father. It $3,800, the highest price at the sale.

"To my dear son Stan, from Dad, August 1932," the inscription said.

A 1930 photograph of Laurel and Hardy together, inscribed by Laurel to his sister, Beatrice, Woods' mother, was sold to a private collector from southern England for $2,400.

The other photographs put on sale showed Laurel throughout his life and included images of him as a young boy and pictures taken at the Hollywood studio of Hal Roach, the duo's producer.

Among the buyers were Universal film studios and the Laurel and Hardy Museum in Ulverston, the northern English town where Laurel was born.

Laurel, whose real name was Stanley Jefferson, left England for Hollywood, where he starred in 75 films on his own and began his comedic partnership with Hardy in 1926. The two made 105 movies together.

They are still considered one of the greatest comedy teams in film history — slim Laurel with his childish innocence and mischief, and rotund Hardy, whose cherubic face belied a short temper when his partner got them into "another fine mess."

Laurel died in 1965, Hardy in 1957.
