Today's Professionals Circuit Archive is much like any other archive in fandom. But it has a long and involved history. For a complete timeline of the fandom visit The Professionals/Timeline.
First, there was the Circuit
Zines were already common in Star Trek and Blake's 7 fandom, yet in the mid-'80s, when stories were first being written for The Professionals in Britain, fanfic was mostly just shared from fan to fan. The "circuit" was thus a way of trading stories around without the formality of publishing them as zines. (Pros began as a slash fandom, and the vast majority of Pros fanfic has always been slash, but the circuit had both slash and gen stories.)
Issue 6 of the The Hatstand Express (1985) was the first issue of that zine that that uses the phrase "the circuit" -- up until now, fans used the terms, "the network," "the usual sources," and "making copies for people."
Then the Circuit Library
By the late 1980s, Professionals fandom had begun to offer zines, but most of the fiction was still on the "circuit," which by now had been gathered together in the Circuit Library.[1] in the U.K. run by Sara S/Gryphon Press, and the primary U.S. version run by Nancy Arena and then later by Karen B.[2] The US library was initially called "The Hatstand Press Lending Library," but it too came to be known as the "Circuit Library.[3] While the US and UK circuits had significant overlap, time, distance and the informal nature of distribution meant there were differences in what was included in the circuit library in each country. In addition, in the early days of the fandom there was some resistance to sharing UK circuit stories with the Americans. According to one UK fan, distribution of stories to the US was slow to start. There were tensions between some British and US fans regarding the quality of the US written fiction, the inclusion of Americanisms in US fiction, and the "right" of those not living in the UK to write about a UK show. To ease tensions, some UK fans increased the number of copies they mailed to the US.[4]
The majority of circuit stories were slash and were passed from fan to fan either in person or through the mail. The stories were written under pseudonyms such as HG, O Yardley, Meg Lewtan and Agent 6.9. Copies were originally printed using typewriter carbon paper but as the number of UK readers grew fans mailed their stories to a UK fan who had access to a photocopier at work.[5] As an interesting side note: UK circuit stories were printed on A4 paper so when the stories were copied in the US onto smaller letter sized paper, the titles and the author names were sometimes cut off. Fans would write what they thought were the titles and names in the margins with the info scratched out and corrected by subsequent readers. Pages grew more and more faded after multiple copying and, on occasion, the top and bottom lines were cut off during US photocopying. Some of these factors led to the creation of the US electronic circuit library (see below).
In the early 1990s, the U.S. library had over 1,000 stories. You could order up to 10 stories at a time once a month. It cost $12 a year to join, plus mailing fees both ways. (At 10 stories a month, it would take about 10 years to read them all.) The library worked best when you worked in unison with a partner or two, so that fans could double, triple, or quadruple the amount of stories they could receive per month. Fans would photocopy the stories and bind them. These bound stories would often be lent locally to other fans in effect becoming their own mini-circuit library.
Since the composition of the circuit was fluid and ever changing, it was often hard to keep track of what was legitimately included and what might be a photo-copied story from a published zine. In May 1993, Karen B, the US circuit librarian, included the following in her updated circuit Library Master List:
- "There's been a lot of talk lately about zine pirating, and the Library has been mentioned unfavorably. So this is a good time to re-state policy - it is not and has never been Library policy to distribute stories taken from in-print zines. That doesn't mean it never happens; as I no longer buy Pros zines I'm not always aware that a story sent to me - sometimes with no name and no indication where it came from - might not be "eligible." If any of you see a title in the Library that doesn't belong there, because it's still in print in a zine, please let me know! It will be immediately removed - but someone has to tell me about it.
- I've also heard that the Library might be banned from MediaWest Con—this is very strange, as the Library hasn't officially been at Media West for some years. The only official appearance of the Library (in terms of selling off excess copies of stories) is at ZCon. No exceptions. What people choose to do with their own individual copies of stories, whether obtained from the Library or not, is their own business."
The U.S. Circuit Library closed down in ??
The U.K. Circuit Library is still going as of 2008, distributing stories to subscribers by physical post. It is still run by Sara S.
One note: the library was the formal way of interacting with the circuit -- it was not the circuit, itself.
A Note About The Transition Of The US Circuit Library
The first US circuit library, started by Nancy Arena was informal and did not advertise. It was only with the transition to Karen B that the collection took on its more 'library' status and begin advertising in adzines. The US circuit library was "formally" announced in June 1985 (although much of the work of organizing and copying and mailing took place in 1984).[6] By April 1986, the subscriber base of the new US circuit library reached 70 people.[7]Nancy Arena remembers:
In about 1980-81 I began to collect some of the few British Pros stories through American friends. With permission from the writers, many of whom were using pseuds, I started copying those stories and charging $.03 a page (which is what it cost me) plus postage .It was all done as a matter of trust - I sent the stories, then I was paid. I never asked for anything for my time except for the opinion of the person of the story. This actually worked very well. At first this included only a couple of friends, but gradually the number of stories grew (American, British, Australian, French) and so did the number of people asking for stories. In those days there were no Pros zines, and using actual names of actors was strictly underground. Everything was by word of mouth And there were no computers.
When we got into the 400s in the way of stories, I began to be overwhelmed. Fans would write and just casually ask for all the stories, and I'd have to copy 400 some-odd stories. I kept a chart of who had what and whether I had been paid. I did all this while working full-time...[and raising a family].I had met Karen at a small con in LA, where she was introduced to the Pros. This was around the mid-eighties.[8] She offered to take over, using her library system. I asked the fans (which had become a rather huge number) and only a couple disagreed, so I happily handed over all the stories and the names and addresses."[9]
But What Is This "In the Circuit?" That You Speak Of?
As soon as stories began circulating beyond a few friends, the question of whether s story was "in the circuit" or not (and therefore could be freely copied and shared) became tricky. Overseas communication in the 1980s was done by mail and many, if not most, stories could not be traced back to an author who could be contacted to clarify the story's status. Even circuit librarians struggled with separating stories as fans pulled them from the circuit to be republished in fanzines and then later released them back to the circuit.
In December 1995, fans began debating on Virgule-L whether the novel Master of the Revels could be considered part of the circuit library and was therefore eligible to be retyped electronically. Confusing matters was that there were two different versions of the novel: one published in fanzine format in the US with color art and another version published in the UK without art and which was part of the UK circuit library. Even after fans confirm that the novel was typed and release chapter by chapter to the UK circuit and then, only later, was it put into a more legible zine format with color art, other fans insisted that the story should not be returned to the circuit. Complicating matters is the fact that the US publisher announced the zine would remain out of print (although she would sell photocopies at full price). The matter was finally resolved in early 1996 when the UK circuit librarian announced that she pulled the story from circulation after it was published in zine format. This exchange once again illustrated that the debate over who defined "circuit stories" could not be easily resolved.[10]
As fans on both sides of the Atlantic became more adept at using e-mail in the later 1990s, both readers and librarians found they could better keep up with the changing status of circuit stories. The problem of anonymous stories and of stories written by fans who had long since gafiated would mean that the status of a certain portion of the library would always remain unresolved.
Next came the Electronic Library
In 1992, Virgule-L was formed. Almost immediately, the Pros fans on the list started to pimp Pros to the Star Trek and Blake's 7 fans on the list. Alexfandra was one of the first converted, and quickly became Primary Pros Pimp of the list. She and other list members occasionally typed stories in so they could email them to each other to make pimping easier.[11] Alex maintained a list of these stories and coordinated typists, so that no one typed a story twice, and by late '93, it was known as Alex's electronic Pros library.[12] (People also typed in stories when they noticed the Library copy they had was almost unreadable -- clean copies were made available to Karen B to use in the circuit as she saw fit.) When a typist sent Alex a new story, Alex sent the story out to everyone on the Professionals story list. (This list, now called Proslib after many hosting changes, still exists, and is still used to distribute newly typed-up circuit stories, as well as for posting of new stories.) At this point, there wasn't an organized effort to put all of the Circuit Library online. (A side note is that many fans at that time were still wary of the Internet, and one person called Alex a "danger and a menace to fandom" for making the stories available electronically.)
Alex explained the operation of the electronic library in an email to the Virgule-L mailing list on December 27, 1994:
"The Pros Email Library consists of circuit stories typed in for distribution via email (logically enough). There are currently 120 stories and novellas available. Up until now, I've maintained a list of library "subscribers", who automatically receive any new story as soon as it's been typed in. I now see the need for two lists, one the same as described, and a second "update" list.
The update list would be for people who don't want to automatically receive stories but, instead, prefer a periodic update of what's been added. They could then individually request a story, and it would be sent on. This should work well for fans who a) already have most of the stories we're typing in and don't need new copies, or b) have some kind of pay service and don't wish to pay for stories they don't really want, especially since much of what we're working on now is novella/novel length.
So, if you are already on the library list and wish to continue receiving all newly input stories automatically, you don't need to do a thing, I'll just leave you on there. If you wish to be switched over to the Update list instead, let me know.
If you're not on the library list and wish to be added to either the regular subscriber list or the Update list, please let me know and I'll do so.
The first message I'll send to the update list will be a listing of all current stories in the library, as well as works-in- progress. After that, I will try to send out an update every 6-8 weeks; even if nothing new comes in, I'll send a brief message letting you know that we're all still alive and still typing/scanning/proofing like mad.I hope this will work better for people than the current system-- seems more sensible to run it closer to the way Karen B. runs the regular snail mail circuit library."[13]
In May '95, with about 140 stories, novellas, and novels typed in, Alex gave up the Online Circuit Library and D. Ramsey took it over. D. Ramsey was the new broom, motivated to "make something" of the library. A month later, in June '95, D. Ramsey mentioned on Virgule that she was planning to acquire a password-protected FTP site, so that people could download their own Pros stories instead of making her mail them out.
A firestorm erupted over placing the works of writers into cyberspace without permission. (The level of hysteria was high: "All it would take would be an English-speaking hacker to get in, recognize the characters and splash it all over the news.") There were complaints that these fen generously offered their creations to Karen B's library, to be PRIVATELY circulated among Pros fans; to which other fans responded that circuit does NOT equal "Karen B's library."
Others pushed back, saying that any story that couldn't be verified as having permission (something virtually impossible to do what with pseudonyms and the huge number of stories labeled as being by Anonymous) shouldn't go into any electronic storage/distribution site. The argument finally broke into two sides -- did we have the right to move other people's intellectual property to a new format? And was putting stories on the 'net, even on a protected site, taking the chance of "outing slash" in some horrible way?
In the face of this, the FTP plan was abandoned, and old Pros writers started making their wishes known about electronic copies. In January 1996, authors O Yardley, HG, E.T. and several other British authors asked not to have their stories emailed, but they were okay with them being snail mailed on diskette. [14]
Back to work
Some of the typists deserve fan awards -- for example, Jan Levine typed the 615 pages of Waiting to Fall (at the time, probably fandom's largest novel, and still more than twice as large as any other Pros story in the Professionals Circuit Archive).
In October 1995 Morgan Dawn brought the Pros Online Library on her laptop to Zebracon for people to copy for themselves. In February of '96, she did the same at Escapade. There were roughly 200 stories, and they fit on 11 formatted IBM diskettes.
The diskettes remained a key way to distribute the Online Library for years; after signing up for the email story list, you could send D. Ramsey either a set number of blank disks (which grew as the Online Library grew) or enough money to cover the costs of disks, and she would send you the entire library back, catching you up to the point where you'd joined the email list and started saving them yourself. (This provided a very handy way to locate stories -- each disk was numbered, and the same stories were always added to the same disks, so you could tell someone to check Disk 17 for the story they were looking for.) Later, when home-burned CDs became available, the Online Library switched to CD for distribution -- but still in "disk #" folders, to keep things consistent. A story on diskette 17 would be in folder "Disk 17" on the CD.
As of September 2013, the Pros CD is up to Disk 125. [15]
In Mar 2000, Deb R. created the Yahoo email group Proslib to distribute the stories online. As of March 2012, it's still active and under moderation by The Hag who continues to send out the Pros Circuit stories on CD disks. The Proslib mailing list remains, however, the main method of distributing both old and new circuit stories. Still, with the explosion on websites, Livejournals and online archives, most new stories are posted online and never make it into the "circuit."
The Professionals Online Circuit Archive
Later in 1996, Meri began the Sisyphean task of getting permission from Pros authors to put their stories on the web as The Professionals Circuit Archive (wayback archive links here). Pros fandom was still somewhat suspicious of the Internet, and it was her tireless efforts to contact authors personally (often through snail mail) and persuade them of the benefits of permitting their stories to be archived online that made the archive possible. It was slow going, not just to find authors to agree, but to get the stories themselves typed up. The online archive went live on April 19, 1998 on Geocities. By December 31, 2003, there were approximately 700 stories in the archive.[16] By 2009, that number had grown to 1900.
In 2004, the archive was turned over to Justacat. She completely redid it as an automated archive, with a search engine to make stories easier to find. Unlike most other automated archives, though, Justacat didn't open uploading to anyone else; she still uploads every story herself. This is to prevent fans, in an attempt to be helpful, from adding circuit or zine stories to the archive that their authors haven't given permission for. Stories from the circuit are still being added as well, with permission. Currently, from drabbles to novels, the archive has 1,963 fanworks archived -- not just fanfic, but also fanart and vids, making the Circuit Archive one of the most complete fandom archives on the web.
And yet, even in 2008, the electronic library (available by joining the email group, or ordering a CD of its contents) has many stories that are not (yet?) available on the online Archive.
The Circuit Archive may have fallen into limbo as the last story that Justacat uploaded was in September 2010. In the meantime, The Hatstand Automated archive opened in 2008 and is still allowing authors to upload their own fiction directly.[17]
The Circuit Archive manifesto: The Circuit Archive is proud to be the primary online repository for Pros fanfic (and more recently, fan art and songvideos), though we wholeheartedly support all Pros archives and encourage the creation of any and all online Pros resources.
In fact, we support and encourage the creation of all Pros resources, whether or not online. It probably goes without saying that we are strongly in favor of making all Pros fanfic available online, and we will continue to work toward this goal. We recognize, however, that there are other methods for disseminating fanfic, such as zines and the remaining circuit libraries, and all are important and contribute to keeping Pros fandom alive and thriving. In fact, the archive owners have extensive zine collections themselves and routinely purchase zines, even - or especially - those that we've already read online. Sometimes the artwork alone makes a zine worth purchasing.Still, we are firmly of the belief that making the fandom - and the fanfic - as easily and widely accessible as possible inures to the benefit of the fandom as a whole and is in fact the best, perhaps the only, way to ensure the continued survival of a vibrant and active Pros fandom and to keep the fandom flourishing - particularly in this day and age, when fanfic has become routinely available online in most fandoms and fans increasingly expect to be able to participate in and experience fandom through the internet.

The Circuit vs Fanzines
Perhaps because Pros fandom started off by exchanging fanfiction through the circuit, the introduction of fanzines was not greeted with open arms. There was extensive discussion of this issue in the issues of The Hatstand Express. Below are only a few selections from that discussion, covering a wide range of topics.
- a fan is conflicted about the idea of Pros zines: "I'm a little troubled too, at the prospect of B/D zines. If zines are likely to mean a reduction in the number of stories that are passed around the circuit, I shall regret it very much. I enjoy putting my own ideas into words, enjoy even more sharing my ideas with friends, and if my stories give a much wider circle enjoyment as well, well that's terrific. But the best aspect of this fandom is the informality of it all - l love that and the way stories will arrive in ones, twos or threes, instead of me having to wait months for a zine. And although it's tempting to have a go at submitting to a zine, I don't think I'd like anything of mine tied up for very long. I don't write very quickly, but when I do finish something I like it to go out as soon as possible." [19]
- more on zines, and this fan focuses on cost: "On the topic of zines versus the circuit — zines do have the advantage of giving readable copies. I have not done a price per zine page comparison to the price per photocopy cost, so I can't figure if any price difference would enter into it. The circuit does give you the option of only paying for copies of stories you want to keep, assuming you are able to borrow and do your own copying. This is the first fandom I've encountered with the photocopy circuit, so I'm still not sure if I like this better or not. In its favour is the faster writer to reader time over the more conventional $10-$20, year late, and two years after submission type zine. With THE [The Hatstand Express], coming out on an on-time quarterly basis, that does not affect its stories so much. I am a bit disappointed when I see reruns in THE, but since they are clearer copies than the originals I saw, and I've pre-paid for them at almost a postage only basis, I haven't minded so far." [20]
- a fan writes of the democratic nature of the circuit: "I think we should remember one thing: a zine is under the control of the editor(s) and their concept and ideas will be what's presented. The 'circuit' embodies the idea most of us have been preaching since the beginning, and that is 'everybody has the right to write'. Everybody who wants to should be encouraged to write, and everybody who writes has the right to write what they feel is right!"[21]
- about zine and exclusivity: "The exclusivity of zines is a fallacy. Zines are far less exclusive than circuit stories. Anyone can buy a zine, anyone can lend it to their sister or best friend or lover or funny uncle William. But the author who sends her story out on the circuit (not the library but the circuit, which is not quite the same thing, appearances to the contrary) can say 'this story cannot go to Wyoming,' or 'you can read it but not copy it,' or 'your eyes only.' Not very friendly, eh? But it's being done. Ask around, and then tell me that zines are more democratic than the circuit."[22]
- regarding zines and the threat of change to some fans' influence: "I can't understand why people are so violently anti-zine. At times, I wonder if the hostility towards zines is not a result of misdirection. Much of the hostility seems to come from older fans who are watching their fandom grow beyond them. Zines, as a symbol of the new wave, provide a convenient target. What I don't understand, beyond the fact that you don't want change, is why you object so strongly to the new wave. Many new writers have come into the fandom bringing many excellent new stories with them. Surely you can't object to that? Do you object to the supposed loss of intimacy? Did you really know everyone in the fandom or did you just have your own little circle that is now no longer quite so little? Don't you find it stimulating to have new ideas, new perspectives, new stories? S/H fandom would kill for an influx of people into their ranks such as B/D has witnessed." [23]
- a BNF writes: "... on the subject of zines versus the circuit - again, of course, everyone is welcome to act as they wish, which they would anyway. I don't kid myself that anything I say is going to affect world opinion, I merely wish to state that I will not write for zines as I am still waiting for some of my K/S stories to be printed and I haven't written one in over 3 years. I need feedback a great deal quicker than that and have found the circuit to be a very satisfying method if dispersal." [24]
- another fan writes: "Zines are more democratic in that anyone who has the money can buy the zines; however, they are also less democratic because what is published is subject to the individual whims and policies of the editors. What you see on the circuit is dependent on 'for your eyes only' and 'read but don't copy', etc., but then those who don't wish others to read their stories don't send them to zines either. A zine doesn't spring forth by osmosis. What has always concerned me about the circuit, though, has been the potential for a resurgence of the cliques and "play by my rules" power games that were here in the early days. I do not wish to see that."[25]
... the circuit fandoms may have harmed the zine fandoms. Fans who had only known the free stories saw nothing wrong in copying zines. These people only copied the stories they liked....There is a real irony in this whole situation, in that as more and more K/S fans drifted into B/D, they wanted to see a more familiar form of stories (with art!), and many B/D zines are springing up. This is causing the circuit to suffer to the point where I have had discussions with fans as to if the zines are killing the circuit! [26]
The truth fell somewhere in between - while fanzines did cut into the availability of circuit stories, the Internet had a bigger impact on both the paper circuit and printed fanzines. In the end, the direct reader-writer connection via electronic means won the hearts and minds of fandom.

J U L Y 4th and Deliveries have been moved!
Next Wednesday is Independence Day July 4th in which we get to pause and reflect on being blessed to be able to live freely in this amazing country because of those who sacrificed their lives for generations to come.
"Home of the FREE, because of the BRAVE."
And deliveries were also going to fall on this week as well (Tues, Wed, and Thurs).
We've decided to bump the deliveries to the following week (July 9th-13th). We'll post the new schedule below.
In the meantime, we ask (no BEG!!) of you to consider spending Independence Day with us! About 15 miles from the new farm, there sits a precious town off Hwy 237 called Round Top, TX (population 90). This amazing little town hosts one of the most incredible 4th of July parades to boot!
The farm will have a float in the parade along with many other local businesses. If your kiddos would like to ride with us on our farm float (and throw organic suckers:), contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll give you the details.
It is entertaining to say the least! The canon to start the parade goes off at 10:30 am. But, you may want to get there a little earlier to get a good front row seat.
AFTER the parade is over, we'll make our way back to the farm for some smoked link sausage, hot dogs, and watermelon. We would LOVE for you to join us. Farmer Jason will give a brief tour of the new farm and then we'll just enjoy celebrating our country's freedom on a good old fashioned American farm.
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you plan on coming to the farm so we can make sure we have a good food count. Let us know how many link sausages ($5) and how many hot dogs ($3) you'd like. All of the meat has been raised on our farm. We're having hot dogs made! Hallelujah!
Since delivery week has been moved back a week, you may also purchase milk, meat, and eggs from our farm that day as the store will be OPEN! You can place your order online in advance and we'll have it ready for you when you get here (write "farm pick up 4th of July" in the notes section).
I LOVE Junk Gypsy Jolie's BLOG POST on the Round Top 4th of July Parade. Go take a gander!
Here is the updated delivery schedule....
And just to entice you a bit further and beg one last time, here are some photos of past 4th of July Parades in Round Top!
I pretty much tear up every time the herd of longhorns pass by with men, women, and children riding them! OH MY! It is stunning and SO Texan!
The Royers Round Top Cafe float! So creative! They threw PIES yall! And speaking of PIE...yum-O! Some of the BEST pie ever!

But the Washington dad has found it in his heart to forgive suspect Gabriel Zebediah Gaeta, 17, if it turns out the worst is true.
"I've already forgiven him," he told the Kitsap Sun. "How can I be in God's grace if I don't forgive?"
Meanwhile, Jenise's mother, Denise Wright, defended the Gaeta family, who've been getting death threats since their son was arrested.
"It's not their fault this happened," she told the Sun. "Just blame him, not his family."
Jenise was last reported to have been seen when she went to bed on Aug. 2. Her body was later discovered on Aug. 8, in the woods near the mobile home park where she lived.
Gaeta was apprehended just a day later, after it was discovered that his DNA matched DNA found on bloody clothing recovered near where Jenise's body was found.
"We were friends," Wright, told NBC News. "We fed him. He split wood with me at my house. I was trying to teach him to be responsible to his community – even when we leave home, we are responsible as men."

SOUTH BRUNSWICK – A fire tore through a colonial-style house Thursday night, forcing out a mother and her teenage daughter, police said.
The blaze was reported about 7:20 p.m. on Lexington Road in the Monmouth Junction section.
Rescue workers who arrived found heavy smoke throughout the home. The fire was located in the laundry and kitchen areas of the house, according to a police report.
The fire was in the Deans Pond Crossing development, police said.
"The residence (sustained) extensive smoke damage throughout," said Sgt. Jim Ryan of the South Brunswick Police Department.
The home was left uninhabitable, police said.
"A mother and teenage child who were at home at the time of the fire were displaced as a result of the damage," Ryan said. "They are staying with friends in the area."
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the South Brunswick Fire Safety Bureau.
Firefighters from Kendall Park and Kingston Fire Companies assisted in quickly containing the fire. The Monmouth Junction and Kendall Park First Aid Squad also responded to the call. Jamesburg Fire Department was called to cover the fire stations.

Federal suit: Baylor failed to stop cocaine-using surgeon from harming patients
A federal lawsuit is accusing Baylor Health Care System of failing to properly monitor or investigate a Plano neurosurgeon – recently barred from practicing in Texas – despite repeated warnings about his "drug problem" and "lack of competence."
Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano didn't seek Dr. Christopher Duntsch's resignation amid months of botched spinal treatments until one of his patients died in March 2012, according to the suit.
Then the hospital gave him a "letter of reference" that allowed him to go on to harm patients at other Dallas facilities, it says.
The malpractice case was brought by Kenneth Fennell of Denton County. He claims Duntsch harmed him and several other patients over a nine-month stretch beginning in July 2011. Among the worst outcomes alleged: a woman who bled to death, and Duntsch's "lifelong friend and roommate" who was rendered a quadriplegic. Duntsch performed an "unnecessary surgery" on Fennell, 68, operating on the wrong body part, the suit says.
The lawsuit portrays Baylor as embracing Duntsch for "the enormous profits it hoped to reap." The health system recruited him, helped establish his practice at a spine institute with a $600,000 advance and tens of thousands of dollars in perks. Baylor also marketed and promoted his practice to the public, encouraging other doctors to refer patients to him.
Baylor officials deny the "material allegations" and plan to file a response in court, a hospital spokeswoman told me in a written statement.
"The quality of the patient care we provide is of paramount importance to us and we take all patient care-related claims very seriously," the statement said.

|I was a kid living in Klamath during the 64 flood, I remember driving over the "bear" bridge every time we went to town. We lived with the Seats family up on a big hill behind the old elementary school. Both of my parents worked there and we have a file of photos showing all of the buildings and classroom interiors piled to the ceiling with mud. I also remember the Salvation Army being a big help to everyone and also my brother and I had to give up our Christmas presents to town kids that had gotten washed out that year. I will always remember how beautiful the trees there are, we used to play on incredible forest trails.

|I was born in k falls 1955. Lived there for a few years. HOWEVER, my sisters and I came back every spring real and summer. We stayed with my Great Aunt - Isabelle Brixner Borgman. She was the superintendent of County Schools and was a very well respected woman there. She even has a junior high school named after her - a richer Junior High. She lived on Lakeshore Drive with a gorgeous view of the lake. I have SO many wonderful memories of her and Klamath Falls. From her home we would go to Moore Park. Also another park - I think Wire Park which had a swimming pool along with a couple of Huge turtles.
I found this site when someone indicated remembering dinner with Isabelle and Harvey Borgman
While Isabelle(bell or bellbell to us) worked some days we would go visit Inez Lambert - whose husband owned the cleaners downtown. Or I remember going to Kathleen cabin (as I recall we would have to enter Crater Lake Park but then it seemed we drove on through to a area which had a grocery store and the cabin was by the Rogue River -, trails along the way Had to use outhouses. Had to pump for water. Had a deer AND a chimunk who would eat out of our hands and the deer would just stay and hangout with us. Does anyone have an idea the name of this area?? Remember the ice cream socials downtown where there was a old train we climbed over. In young eyes it was a wonderful time and a fun place to be kids. It will always have a special place in my heart and I was so lucky to have Bell in my life - always the teacher - she taught me so much without me even realizing it. I hope whoever lives in her home your life has been enriched - her husband and family members built that home - with love. IF whoever lives in her home - whether you were who bought it from my great aunt or from someone else - IF the fireplace tools are the original ones and were given to the new owners AND if you no longer want them please let me know through here. It'd be nice to have them back in our family. Thanks for the memories. Margot

|Hi Bill -- fabulous fabulous pictures. Came upon this by accident. Fun reading the comments.
I was born in Klamath Valley in 1940 and Dr. Osborne was the doctor. Lived in KF from 1940 to 1958.
Bill, you had my mom as a teacher -- Alice Tomlin. Where are you?

|I spent almost 4 years at Kingsley Field, from 9/1962 to May 1966. I really enjoyed my time there. The city and the area around Klamath Falls is beautiful. Now living in Ohio I really miss the mountains and the beautiful scenery they provide.
|07-Nov-2014 01:38
|Does anyone remember the department store downtown Klamath Falls that had a
large wall mural of Alice in Wonderland? There was a lower level with girls'
clothing that was accessed by a ramp, so to speak, that curved to the bottom.
My parents used to go to KF every fall and my mother would always go to this
store. It is a favorite memory for me, but I cannot remember the name of this
business. Thank you!

|When I lived in Illinois, I would dream of driving up through the tree lined roads of Moore Park. Remember the zoo? And the peacocks that would wander freely throughout the park? The water fountain up by the zoo had the coldest, best drinking water ever. There was a deer and elk refuge above the picnic area. We could drive the upper road and park on a pullout to view Klamath Lake. There was a cement children's swimming pool next to the playground. How many times did we run up and down the grassy hill from the playground to the picnic area (or roll down)? Great Easter Egg hunt's there,too. I moved back. I still enjoy the simple beauty of Moore Park and the whole community. Delilah

|Ours was a military family, stationed at Kingsley Field. I lived in K Falls from 1965-1969. My parents lived there until the 80s when my father had retired from both the military and the juvenile system and moved away from the state to be near his mom.
I visited about 5 years ago and then took them back to visit 3 summers ago...Things have changed a LOT and then, not so much. Once you get into town and get your bearings everything clicks and you run on the fumes of memory!
Shakey's Pizza, A&W Rootbeer, dragging Main Street on Saturday night. Dinner at Molatores, the Creamery... Our family and friends went caroling all around town in the snow every Christmas--I think I have sung a carol at every house between Shasta Way and Home Avenue, Washburn Way and East Main!! Younger sister went to Fremont--I don't remember where my younger brothers went to elementary school, but my older brother and I went to KUHS and then transferred to Henley when we moved to base housing.
I remember coming home to visit and driving the connector from Esplanade to OTI to pick up my mom from work at the hospital...driving in the snow had become foreign (San Diego HAD no snow! It doesn't seem like that road was 4 lanes when we moved there. I almost ran my mom into the ditch!! I remember Payless at Town & Country, Ziegler's Health store and some small market up the street from there -- Idellas? Town and Country had horse in the parking lot didn't it?
Our family friend and dentist Dr. Eugene Chrowl passed away shortly before my first visit in 40 years. But seeing our friend, ophthalmologist Dr. Bob Graham and his children 3 years ago was a wonderful thing. His wife had passed away, but Nola Chrowl was still there.
The fruit trees my mom planted at their house were still there, and loaded with fruit, but the peach tree she planted on base, after bearing softball-size peaches for years had become infected with "something" and died. :(
Thank you for the wonderful memories--shared by EVERYONE who posted. I will look at the rest of the pictures and enjoy them again and again. You opened a memory dam...sorry for the flood!

|What a wonderful site. I've enjoyed reading all the comments about Klamath Falls. I was born and raised there. Went to Conger, Fremont and Klamath Union. My father and mother bought Ernies toy house and it them became Al's Toy House on Klamath Ave. When I was a kid there were lots of famous musicians that came to Klamath Falls and performed in the old Armory which is the Museum now. I saw and danced to Bill Haley and the Comets, Gene Vincint, Fats Domino, Little Richard... and many more. I worked at Crater Lake Creamery and at the Bowling alley on South 6th street before moving to Nevada. Now I live in Bend Oregon but go to Klamath every once in awhile. Had dinner at Wongs not long ago.
Who remembers draging Main? Now it's all one way. How about the sock hops during lunch at KU. My favorite thing was a curley dog at the little drive in across from the Armory. Forgot what it was called. So many memories of Klamath. Been such fun reading all the comments and the photos are terrific.

|I love this site and K. Falls is calling me home deep in my soul. My family owned all the property on 421 Old Fort Rd back in the 70s. My siblings and I used to walk to Mills school along the canal and stand on the geo grate in the road to warm up in the winter. Old Fort was not blocked off then and the grate was at the end of Old Fort Rd. All the kids smelled like rotten eggs (sulfur) in class LOL.... Coach Roberts was the track coach then and I was in fourth grade. Four square was a big recess activity then. There were monkey bars on the playground and I remember spinning in circles around the bars with a coat under our knee on one leg. Mills had a huge Halloween carnival every year and I won a cake one year in the cake walk. The last day of school at Mills the principal would walk all the students right over to the Dairy Queen(at that time) and let us each order an ice cream (I always ordered a butterscotch dipped cone). Coach Roberts would walk us to track meets at KU. He was a huge influence on my life. I would love to have pics of him during that time. Beautiful memories fill my mind here in Oklahoma every day. There was an Artic Circle and you could get a gallon carton of coke with all your hamburgers. There was an A & W for great rootbeer floats. Ponderosa Jr. High was not built yet. The parkway was just built. I remember walking to the Municipal pool childrens pool (what it was called back then) and laying out on the concrete to dry in the warm sun with my twin brothers on hot days during summer time. I remember walking down into town and going in the museums. I walked all the way to Favell museum many times. I'm sure a little fourth grade girl could not do that safely now a days but you could then. I remember my big sister taking us kids to Moore Park for Easter. We would all run out to collect eggs on the grass. I remember going to the Y during the winter to swim and give my mom a break. She would pick us up in the station wagon and our wet bathing suits would freeze sometimes in the very back of the car by the time we got home. I remember walking up Loma Linda (up above the church that is there now) and sliding down to the flat beds on cardboard. The Valdez family lived in the house right across from us (next to the church now) and Mrs. Valdez is still there today. We would play in the flat beds and dig up the cracked mud and clay that was underneath. We would make figurines out of the wet clay. We could actually draw a giant hopscotch on the road and we would hop scotch for hours on Old Fort Rd. There were several vacant houses down the road that were just sitting on vacant land on the right hand side of the road. They were there for a long time and no one seemed to know why they were there. We would play hide and seek in the houses during the summers. I think they were there maybe to buid a little street like what sits now on my family's property (James Martin Court) but it never happened. I remember walking to the trading post and picking crab apples off the trees. I loved going there and just looking at all the things there. I remember my family going up the road during winter and intertubing down mountains with a bon fire to warm up by at the bottom. The taste of hot chocolate is still fresh in my mind. So many memories....... My name is Becky Forester-Koon. I have my house for sale here in OK and when it sells I will be coming home.......

|I was only in Klamath Falls once, in 1953, when I was 12. The purpose was to visit my grandfather, Dean Osborn. I was told that I had met him before, but I must have been too young to remember. What I remember most about KF was my grandfather's rose garden, wonder what has happened to it? I see that Dean has another grandchild who has previously commented; I had never heard of her (Sue Coley) before, but would be pleased to find her by email.

Valley Hospital on Pine St. Dr Merriman delivered most of us. His office was only a block away. I have absolutely enjoyed your pictures. Like someone said above, the K Falls of the 60s, 70s and 80s no longer exist. However, you captured much of what it was in your photos. I worked at kitty's, Lapointe's and Specialized Services as a teen. I drank many a shake at the Eagles Cafe and what is now Klamath Grill. I loved going to dinner with my family once in a great while at Wongs or Molotores. I went to Mills and Peterson, and Altamont and Mazama and KU. I am currently in afghanistan working with the Army (I am a retired Army officer) and I can't tell you how much i appreciate this site; esp now. again, thx for sharing

I miss my Hometown, I sure like to browse through the pics, I have been everywhere those were taken, I miss tking Bike rides on the A Canal and OC&E trail and the open country and the Fresh Air. If the Economy would allow I would move back there in a heartbeat.

|Great photos!
I would also love to see pics of Riverside Elementary School. I went there in 1970, when I was 5 years old.
If you are up around 3rd and Grant St. I would love to see a pic of the corner two story house I lived in on the south corner of 3rd. I noticed on aerial maps that the evergreen shrubs are still there!
Your photos brought back the few memories I have of Klamath Falls. Thanks!

|Great photos. I graduated from Henley in 1996. I come home every year to see things changing so rapidly. Love the pics! Makes me a little homesick.

|Wish there was a way to search pictures. Looking for pics of KAGO Hill and Riverside Elementary School. Great photography though, I grew up in that town and these pictures really represent what Klamath's all about- Krocket Man (Tony) to Klamath Correctional Facility (one of the main sources of KF's revenue are the traffic and criminal legal systems, respectively.) Great work!

|Bill, your eye lends beauty where most would see none, and preserves it for later notice. This is truly a marvelous collection and a service to the area, beyond any real measure.
Thank you.

|Beautiful photo's, Im new to the area and these pictures make me see the town in a more beautiful and artistic way. Why no pictures of Wubba's? Great little BBQ shack with friendly owners, they make klamath falls feel warm and welcoming.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators continue to openly defy Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the fourth straight day.
Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi encouraged supporters to rally Thursday in Tehran's Imam Khomenei Square, a large plaza in the heart of the capital named for the founder of the Islamic Revolution.
Click play for more coverage on the election protests in Iran with CBN News Senior Reporter George Thomas.
Urging his supporters to wear black, Mousavi says people should mourn the alleged election fraud during Friday's vote and the lives lost during this week's protests.
Seven demonstrators were reportedly killed by police as hundreds of thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets.
The last time Iran had demonstrations this big was 30 years ago.
"The demonstrations today are eerily reminiscent, in terms of numbers, of the demonstrations that led to the over throw of the shah of Iran," said the New America Foundation's Afshin Molavi.
"Right now, they are showing how much of a thirst they have for democracy," explained Ali, a Canadian citizen with family in Iran. "How much of a thirst they have for individual rights, for human rights."
Iran's main electoral authority invited Mousavi and two other candidates who ran against Ahmadinejad to a meeting in effort to satisfy the protesters' demands.
Mousavi, who has said he won the vote, charges the Guardian Council is not neutral and supports Ahmadinejad and has demanded an independent investigation and a new election.
The Council's spokesman, Abbasali Khadkhodaei, said Thursday that it received a total of 646 complaints from the three candidates who ran against Ahmadinejad in the June 12 election.
The large number of complaints raised the possibility that even a limited recount could turn into a far larger problem.
"I think the government is frightened about the prospect of a regime change," explained Hooshang Amirahmadi of the Iranian-American Institute. "In fact, they are already frightened by well-bred, so-called college revolution."
Iranian authorities are muzzling Web sites and other networks used by Mousavi's backers to share information with each other and the world. They are trying to get the word out that most foreign journalists have been banned from reporting in the streets.

The Altima has been Nissan's big success story for the past few years, passing up the Honda Accord several times over the past 12 months, and is now looming large in the Toyota Camry's rearview mirror, poised to take the midsize throne. But it seems that Nissan isn't content to limit the Altima's success to just the U.S. market. The company plants to take the Altima brand worldwide.
Nissan is starting production of the Altima at its Canton, Mississippi plant, which also builds the Titan fullsize pickup and Armada SUV, both of those models being relatively low-volume models for the brand. With the plant's current annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles a year, soon to be expanded to 400,000, it only made sense to use the under-utilized capacity to make room for the strong-selling Altima.
Nissan's D platform underpins the Altima, Maxima, and an overseas variant known as the Teana. But based on a quote from Nissan's director of export operations Jerry Brickett, the Altima brand could potentially go global as well, with Mexico, Canada and the Middle East being areas targeted for growth. "We have the right product at the right time for those growing markets, and it will really help to grow the brand recognition with a strong product like Altima," Brickett said. Whether or not this means the Altima will supplant the Teana brand in some overseas markets remains to be seen, but it's clear Nissan wants to make Altima a more widely-recognized brand around the world. The Teana name is used primarily in the Asia-Pacific and South American markets.
The 2013 Altima has made headlines for the four-cylinder models' class-leading 38 mpg highway and 27 mpg city, the highest fuel economy of any non-hybrid or non-diesel midsize sedan sold in the U.S.

Like "The Wizard of Oz," the main character of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is a young girl who is bored with life and dreams of going away to some exciting destination. Dorothy and Ariel get what they wished for but find it does not meet their expectations. Both stories are filled with adventure and drama, complete with a villainous witch, but "Little Mermaid" also is a love story.
Calvert High School is to present "The Little Mermaid" at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the school gym. Many people are familiar with the animated motion picture based on a fairy tale. The stage version features the same basic story and the music from the film, with 10 new songs by Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater.
Director Krysten Webb was able to borrow original costumes from a Toledo school that had presented the show previously. Some simple backdrops and the imagination of the audience are enough to make it believable.
Article Photos
Ariel (Corinne Harris) has a close encounter with Prince Eric (Jack Burtis) when she saves him from drowning.
Elementary school children fill in as the colorful, singing sea creatures. Favorite songs from the film are "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl," "Part of Your World," "Poor Souls," "Les Poissons," "Fathoms Below" and "Daughters of Triton."
The curtain opens with a sailing ship carrying the pilot (Will Wagner), Prince Eric (Jack Burtis), Grimsby (Connor Stocker) and a small crew of sailors who are to reappear later in the story. Below the ocean's surface, Cayden Kapelka as King Triton is presiding over a celebration featuring his daughters.
The mersisters are portrayed by Margaret Bowers, Marrisa Therriaut, Allie Beckley, Samantha Beckley, Amanda Martorana and Regina Hoepf. Later, the girls' ensemble performs the harmonious "She's In Love," one of the new tunes.
Triton is disturbed when his daughter, Ariel, does not make her expected appearance at the concert. Sebastian the crab also is worried and suggests more supervision for Ariel. The king agrees and assigns Sebastian (Kory Wise) to that duty.
In the lead role is Corinne Harris as Ariel. She was a natural choice for the role with her long, red hair and clear voice. Besides, Harris also is a star swimmer for Calvert.
As the story goes, Ariel has been leaving her underwater home and going to the surface to observe what goes on above her. She is accompanied by Ceci Burtis as Flounder and Amanda Traxler as Scuttle, the gull. Kristan Bowers, Rachel Groves and Sarah Goshe are fellow gulls.
While Ariel expresses her yearning to learn more about the land-bound creatures, the sinister Floatsam and Jetsam (Meridith Lucius and Madison Daniel) overhear her comments. They report the news to the sea witch, Ursula (Hailey Kapelka).
Ursula delivers two more new songs, "I Want the Good Times Back," and "Daddy's Little Angel." Maybe those make up for her unwieldy costume.
Later, Ariel spots the ship and lingers nearby in curiosity. Dancers swirl about the stage as a squall stirs up the sea and tosses Prince Eric into the waves. After pulling him to shore, Ariel falls in love with him.
Through a blur of sub-consciousness, he glimpses her face, unsure whether she is real or a hallucination.
That encounter solidifies Ariel's determination to find a way to be with the man she loves. Singing "Poor Unfortunate Soul," Ursula and her cronies offer to help Ariel with a magic spell. But there is a price; she must surrender her voice in exchange for a human body.
With that accomplished, Ariel is forced to scramble from the deep to the surface for air, leaving her unconscious but sans fins.
If there is a lesson to be gained, perhaps it is dreams must not go too far beyond the realm of possibility.
The second act follows Ariel as a human who cannot speak. She does hook up with the prince, but he is engaged to Carlotta, played by Allie Beckley. Other characters who appear in Act II include Isaac Best as Chef Louis and Gabbi Hanna, Emma Melvin and Brooke Dixon as the princesses.
In addition to those named above, the chorus includes Rebecca Hoepf, Anthony Traxler, Cassie Reinhart, Jenna Bonnell, Leigh Brinkman, Isaac Cortez, Travis Everhart, Miranda Fanning, Jayden Fox, Jylan Godfrey, Owen Hizer, Alana Kennedy, Julianna Poland, Erin Wagner, Samantha Wagner, Lydia Wellman, Samantha Wellman and Hanna Welter.
Making up the crew are Remington Marshall, Brityce Hizer, Hayden Hizer, Brock Boucher, Owen Ziegler, Nick Maury, Miranda Shorts, Sara Welter, Maria Goshe and Erin Groves.
The main drawback to the show is the recorded soundtrack to accompany the singers. Although it eliminates the task of finding musicians, live music adds a special touch. Beyond that, "The Little Mermaid" is a charming production for all.
Tickets are $10 at the door or by calling (419) 447-3844.

Poster issued by the Alliance of Free Democrats [SZDSZ]
'Workers' Militia'
Krzysztof Ducki
Offset lithograph printed in black and yellow on paper
Museum no. E.160-1991
Given by Mücsarnok, Budapest, through Krisztina Jerger
This poster is campaigning against the continued existence of the Workers' Militia during the period of democratic reform in Hungary. The Workers' Militia was a voluntary armed force closely linked with the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party that had ruled the country since 1956. The artist represents the Workers' Militia as a fearsome set of false teeth. It is an adroit visual metaphor, implying that the militia is an old organisation that belongs to the past, but is still potentially dangerous. The teeth have been taken out and put in a glass, referring to the efforts that the Workers' Militia was making to erase its cruel image. The implied warning is that the fangs could still be put back in – and bite.

Last crew member of Enola Gay dies in Georgia
ATLANTA -- The last surviving member of the crew that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, hastening the end of World War II and forcing the world into the atomic age, has died in Georgia.
Theodore VanKirk, also known as "Dutch," died Monday of natural causes at the retirement home where he lived in Stone Mountain, Ga., his son Tom VanKirk said. He was 93.
VanKirk flew nearly 60 bombing missions, but it was a single mission in the Pacific that secured him a place in history. He was 24 years old when he served as navigator on the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the first atomic bomb deployed in wartime over the Japanese city of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945.
He was teamed with pilot Paul Tibbets and bombardier Tom Ferebee in Tibbets' fledgling 509th Composite Bomb Group for Special Mission No. 13.
The mission went perfectly, VanKirk told the Associated Press in a 2005 interview. He guided the bomber through the night sky, just 15 seconds behind schedule, he said. As the 9,000-pound bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" fell toward the sleeping city, he and his crewmates hoped to escape with their lives.
They didn't know whether the bomb would actually work and, if it did, whether its shock waves would rip their plane to shreds. They counted -- one thousand one, one thousand two -- reaching the 43 seconds they'd been told it would take for detonation and heard nothing.
"I think everybody in the plane concluded it was a dud. It seemed a lot longer than 43 seconds," VanKirk recalled.
The blast and its aftereffects killed 140,000 in Hiroshima.

We are here to assist moms in preserving the traditions their families have started, the memories they have made and the hopes and dreams they have for their children. We hope that each mom & dad that we work with make a full recovery, however in the event that one of them is taken from this earth, Let There Be Mom will have helped them leave something for their children to embrace.
