Thank you, Danny.
James Windsor and I missed it because we were at the Press Institute in Athens. We didn't have cellphones or internet and Atlanta papers didn't worry about scores from small schools in south Georgia. We we got back to Soperton we found the note from J. E. taped to the front door of the old office.

The Hindenberg played at the Brice? Don't remember that movie.

Regardless of Roger Ebert's opinion, it was a good movie with a good cast. Special effects may look amateurish if I watched it now, but that was then.
