Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains 2008 is just around the corner, and it's not to late to still make plans to attend on Friday June 13 and Saturday June 14th. (Texas is a really big state, so there's room for all of us!) Please click on the REH DAYS 2008 tab at the top of the REHupa page (www.rehupa.com) to find out all you'll need to know, and now find out even more with a few changes & additions.

A quick note on the changes: the Friday morning 10:30 panel has been changed to a more generic "What's Happening with REH". REHupans, REH Foundation Board members and (hopefully) a Paradox Entertainment representative will present a discussion of what's going on in the world of Robert E. Howard. We'll disperse information, answer questions and encourage audience participation in talking about the Howard boom of the 21st Century.

Arlene Stephenson, President of Project Pride in Cross Plains, tells me they've received over 100 items for the Friday night Silent Auction at the REH Banquet, but they're always looking for more. Actually, paperback books are NOT what they need this year, so if you've got some other type of REH or related item, please consider donating it to the Silent Auction, c/o Project Pride POB 534, Cross Plains, TX 76443 (or bring it with when y'all come.) It would be much appreciated (and it's tax deductible!)

The nice folks down at Greenleaf Cemetery in Brownwood, caretakers of the Howard family plot there, have asked all Howard fans everywhere for help. They are underfunded and understaffed, but they are still bringing out that wonderful Texas hospitality during REH Days. There will be a canopy erected over the Howard gravesite to protect folks from the blazing Texas sun, and Greenleaf will also be providing some refreshments in the form of water and soft drinks and cookies, for all who visit to pay their respects to Robert E. Howard and his family. So, if you can see your way clear to make a donation to the Greenleaf Cemetery when you visit during Howard Days, it would be a wonderful and most appreciated gesture.

The Gift Shop at the Robert E. Howard Museum will be selling a new t-shirt this year. Yours truly will also be peddling a new Howard shirt, and I would hope others of you would take advantage of the informal Howard dealer's area on the tables in the Pavilion for those items you'd like to sell or trade. (Think about donating some of them to the Silent Auction, as well!) And don't forget to make your donation to Project Pride if you do decide to take advantage of the "dealer's area".

Robert E. Howard Days 2008 is almost here. Hope to see you there, for it's the gala event of the year for all fans of Robert E. Howard! Y'all come!

I have spoken!
Black Indy
