Added Bill Stemmons' and Don Lundy's comments about the show to the page, and Terry Young's about Spanky as well. Put the Dr. Jan and Dr. Judy pic directly on the page. Added search engine to this page. New Ronco/Popeil ads at the bottom of Mazeppa page 3 and Creature Feature pages! Two new, large photos of the 1940 Tulsa Oilers at Texas League (Oiler) Park in the Briefcase, from Frank Morrow...read Frank's comments first on the Oiler Park page. 12/27/99: Cleaned up Guestbooks of detritus, and made all divider lines consistent. Noticed a lot of good info to add to the regular pages...Archived Guestbook 30, re-indexed search engine, which, with all this material, is pretty important! Eliminated the photos in the new photo show from the old Java photo show, and removed Yahoo applet dependence. You need a Netscape or Internet Explorer browser, and at least a Pentium to see these shows, by the way. TTM is Best of Tulsa's site of the week! Added 3 new questions to the Java Tulsa TV commercial quiz. Changed main page formatting a bit. Put a current Tulsa weather gee-gaw at the top of the Weather page. 12/26/99: Added some Guestbook comments to the Joe Krieger picture under the KVOO-TV icon. 12/24/99: More photos and stories from Frank Morrow about Central High drama teacher Isabelle Ronan, launcher of many radio/TV careers in Tulsa and beyond...on the new Tulsa Radio page 4.

See main page for more. 12/20/99: My computer will be out of commission for a day or two...there will be no content updates, but I will be able to respond to Guestbook comments and email via web interface from another computer. 12/19/99: New link to the Guestbook at the top of the main page. Other minor rearrangements. 12/17/99: Frank Morrow's 1st piece of fan mail as a DJ -- a request for a classic piece of "Exotica" music that is mentioned on the Fantastic Theater page and Wes Clark's Avocado Memories site...in the Briefcase. 12/16/99: Archived Guestbook 29, the first from the new Guestbook.

If you have saved a bookmark to the Guestbook, try clicking on the link to it on this page or the main page...it now has pictures enabled! 12/12/99: Added link to Porky Pig's "Blue Christmas" to help you get into the Christmas spirit. 12/10/99: My brother just told me that Randy Ess, I.J.

We need to hear from people who were on Dance Party, or have stories about the show! 12/9/99: Even more Popeil and Ronco ads added! 12/8/99: The new guestbook looks good so far. Put "ads" for those wonderful Popeil and Ronco products at the bottom of a number of pages! New Dance Party page, pictures courtesy of KOTV Art Director Adam Trickey and Web Site Producer Steve Warren; also, a new Lee & Lionel pic! 12/6/99: Added the System Status and Help Chat links to the bottom of the main page for those who want to know what's going on (like me). "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen..." 12/5/99: Started new Guestbook with GuestWorld. This may be an improvement...time will tell. We'll try it for awhile. It has a new preview feature you may like, and I don't think it will drop letters. Nothing was lost; all was saved in archived Guestbook 28. Problems may persist until Monday or Tuesday. The rest of the site works fine (so far!) Thanks for your patience. 12/3/99: Added new printable page of TTM "business" cards just off the Uncola card page.

Added TTM "business" card to the free Uncola Underground card page! 12/1/99: Check out the wild new transition fX in the Java photo album in "Brewster's Toy Shop"! I finally realized that this photo show is not great as a means of presenting photos, but is a fun thing unto itself. Therefore, I have selected pictures which are graphically bold, or amusing when undergoing the various transformations. The number of pictures has been chosen such that each effect is applied to each picture as the show cycles. Moved the Briefcase of photos to the bottom of the main page, added new icon for the TTM Remote Control, and created new express route to the Guestbook on this page! 11/30/99: John Boydston's Daddy A Go Go CD (see Links page) has made Amazon.com's list of the best children's music of 1999!

Reduced the size of the Briefcase pictures for much faster downloads, and also to get most of the picture on your screen (except for the Louis Blust, Jr. pic...I can't reduce it at the moment). Added some info about writing in the Guestbook to the entry screen. Coincidentally(?), there was a problem with the Guestbook this morning...it is fixed. 11/11/99: Added picture of 1971 Leon Russell/Freddie King concert (my first ever) at Oiler Park to the Briefcase.

Archived Guestbook 25, moved on to #26! Reindexed search engine. This might be a bit like putting a "Kick Me" sign on my back, but please let me know if you see any typos on these pages.
