RE: The Doors: Strange Days #3

WELCOME to The Doors Collectors Magazines Strange Days News Emailer Vol. 3 The Celebration Has Just Begun! STRANGE DAYS MEMORABILIA NEWS ITEMS: Congratulations to the five Doors Autographed Box Set winners! These Doors box sets were signed by Ray, John, and Robby on the front cover of the inside book and were given away to random people from our Strange Days Email List. The winners were: Jim Kearns (Camillus, NY), Ainslee Rogers (Hamilton, Canada), Suzie Williams (Harrogate, TN), and Barry Abbott (Ermington, Austrailia), and Laura Pritchett (Missoula, MT). This contest added over 1,000 people to our email list, so watch out for promotions similar to this in the future! The Doors Tour Equipment from our last emailer is still available. One envious person on the net is saying that these items aren't authentic... Vince Treanor (The Doors Road Manager) wanted me to pass along the message that he would be happy to talk to any prospective buyers who believe this bullshit. Call me to set up a three way call to Vince. Prospective buyers only please! Recently lots of new memorabilia items have turned up due to the release of the box set. The rest of this issue of the Strange Days News Emailer is dedicated solely to new items that are both "Wanted" and are "For Sale". If you aren’t into collecting Doors memorabilia, you still might want to read on; I’ve tried to put a little news into each entry. Enjoy!

He also made news again when he single handedly thwarted off a public attack from radio station evangelist, Bob Larson. Sadly after this the church closed it’s doors forever. For years I’ve been trying to get permission to reprint these. Finally I’ve done it!
