I think that it would really be wonderful if Gene were to join Facebook. What a
wonderful way for him / and us to keep in touch with up to date communications
and events!

I wouldn't do it. With Facebook, you toss all your privacy out the window.
Facebook has violated  privacy issues time and time again.

There is a FB page called "Who remember's the Gene London Show?" The site owner
asked me to become an admin..and Gene looks in there from
time to time too.. Gene's pretty busy and any one who knows FB knows it can take
up up a lot of time..and there are a lot of privacy issues.If you wish to
contact Gene directly you may reach him at CartoonCorners@...
Thanks, John

Seems I was wrong about Gene joining Facebook. Many members have set me straight
on this.

There are many who enjoy FB..It is a very social interactive place..It's a great
place for reconnecting with old friends and networking, like all of these sites
there are  many who abuse/use these sites for their own purposes both good and
bad..I'm neither endorsing or discouraging it's use..This really isn't the place
for that..As for Gene as of now he chooses not to Join and he is really very
swamped with projects and plans..

It's just that Gene is spread pretty thin, with so much going on and yes,people
would doubt it's him..He reads these posts regularly and does look at the FB
page "Who Remembers Gene London" occasionally.
The page owner Ron is a huge Gene London fan and a good guy, we have had to
delete several inappropriate posts there already..It was really
great of Ron to offer me an admin position that way we can keep everything
coordinated and cross promote..and take care fo proelms that arise..

Actually Gene doesn't want video posted on YouTube, Check out the video we have
in the files section here..It's limited for the time being..the Transfer process
has slowed the progress in getting the tapes done...Gene wants a quality product
to distribute and it's taking longer than originally planned..
Thanks Everyone,
Hopefully soon I'll have some news in regards to the tapes,
                   Regards,
                            John

I am one of thousands of baby boomers from the Philadelphia area who grew up
watching the Gene London show. I guess you recieve countless emails from fans of
your show, and I dont want to blend in with the "I am your biggest fan'
mentality. I have wondered through the years about you and if you were still
around and thanks to the internet I can contact You and let you know how much
YOU have touched my imagination and love of Fantasy and imagination and reading.
I owe you a debt of thanks, Because of you I gained a thirst for reading very
early in life, I have been to places i read about (some are stories you
masterfully illustrated) I remember crying after you told a sad story about a
princess, I WAS THERE. Gene, You were as big a part of my past as my favorite
teacher and I consider you a mentor.Please it would mean so much if you replyed
and told me you got this I would be honored. I just turned 47 two days ago and I
guess mid life crisis time is upon me, I am so glad I have the chance to let you
know you are STILL appreciated and remembered.   Please if you have time let me
know you recieved this. Are you still public? I would love to meet you.......
Chuck

I am searching everywhere for any kind of video clips fro the shows.  Do they
exist?  Is there anything else (books, memorabilia, anything)?

Thanks in advance for any information.
Gregg Stickeler

And if this is really you Mr. London, thank you for all your years of service in
Philly.  My family and I loved you!!

Dear John,
 
  Have you ever considered politics ? Asked with admiration I assure you.
 
                                                                  Sincerely, Pete Williams

Thanks Adrain!
  You were one of the first members to Join if I recall? and you shared "A
walking talking Christmas tree" (Gene's only recording with the group) You feel
the true spirit of why the group was started and why we all wanted to be members
n the first place..Thanks!

Wow! Went into check my email and seen all these posts. So much activity and the
only good one is Gene's upcoming appearance to benefit the pets. Lets remember
it is Friday (TGIF), and all have a great weekend!It's summer, and lets enjoy
while we can.

Gene London is off to the Iguatemi Mall,
  (  http://www.icsc.org/srch/sct/sct0505/atg_8.php  ) in Sao Paulo, Brazil to
curate and host an exhibit of his movie star costumes for Turner Classic Movies
Latin America.

Gene will be showing costumes from Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn,
Vivien Leigh, Rita Hayworth and others.  Gene is the spokesman for the project
and will be making appearances and providing media interviews.  The exhibit will
play for two weeks ( August 15 - 31 ) and plans for future South American venues
are in the works !

Boa Sorte Gene !

Hi,

First I want to thank the Owner of the list for allowing me to join. Second, I
enjoy reading the posts to see how active Gene is.

My name is Debbie and I'm 58 yrs old. I grew up watching Cartoon Corners General
Store and later the Gene London Show. My Brownie Troop took us all on an outting
for a taping of Cartoon Corners General Store. All I remember was how fun it was
to be there. We even got to sit at Gene's feet for story time.

I had begun to wonder what had become of Gene London and I came upon all sorts
of information and this wonderful Yahoo Group.

Thanks again for allowing me to be a member,

Debbie

Hi, Debbie! WELCOME! Hope you Checked in our filers and photo's section?..Most
of the material was supplied by gene himself..There are a few video clips as
well. Enjoy!
