Hello Mr. Boyd!
Please let me introduce myself, I’m Wolfgang Skodd from Dortmund, Germany. I heard that we are partners in Roland’s ArtCaré2010-Project. It’s nice to meet you this way - all the best - Wolfgang Skodd.

Klaus Groh

OK, Allen, -Don

Thanks for the kind comments. I think I like alot. Nothing is very hard to find, can't spare the effort. My comment in the nothing group had nothing to do with Rain Rien Nevermind.

I dropped in here to look you up noticed the article about the number 13, and have to tell you that for a while I worked on Ward 13 in a military hospital, it was the infectious diseases ward!

from the archeological museum in Merida, MX
We returned Saturday from a 2week tour of Northern Maya kingdom archeological sites, plus giant Olmec heads, and other Olmec artifacts, at a park in Villahermosa

Hi Donald,

There are 5 books in the series. I can see the ordering history (what day which issue is sold). I can't see who ordered a book.

Maybe the order went wrong. If it is not on your orderlist (and payed for) they won't be sending it.

Suggestion: try again. If the ordering succeeds, the orderhistory will tell the rest (and they send a confimation e-mail)

good luck,

Ruud

P.S. Here is the word dumdum

as "nearly" defined on the image of
" " Ray Johnson is a dumdum. " "

dumdum :: A hollow-point small-arms bullet
designed to expand upon impact, inflicting a gaping wound.

Dear Donald Boyd,
ARTIST ESTATE MINT

Eye do not see RAY JOHNSON
featured over at Artist 21 series YET…
Wheeeee! Think you might be remembering
A TV SHOW called “The Unexplained”.
Although I had known Ray for half my life at the time…
This TV program was the first time
I had seen anything about his Leap of Fai’th.

You can buy a copy at AMAZON
Or wait until A& E airs it again.

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Few suspicions are as widely held as belief in the power of the number 13. Tall buildings often skip from the 12th to the 14th floor, hospitals never have a room 13 and every Friday the 13th billions of dollars of loss in trade and commerce are lost worldwide. But while its influence is clear the origins for this peculiar fear are not so evident. SUPERSTITIONS travels from the civilizations of Ancient Greece and Rome into space on the trail of this pervasive belief. Explore theories of its origin, including the widely held view that 13 is cursed because it is the number of people who were present at The Last Supper. See ancient examples of the superstition in Norse myths, the Arthurian legends and classical texts. And examine compelling stories of tragedy that have perpetuated the superstition, from the suicide of underground artist Ray Johnson to the ill-fated Apollo 13 moon mission. It's a gripping inquiry into the enigmatic world of belief.
