Note from Tom Stern:

Hi, gang. Tom Stem here.
I've been in touch with Jim Korkis's brother Mike. Jim came out of bypass well, but being a tricky procedure on Jim, recovery is a little slower than I would have expected.

Mike's last update a few minutes ago:
Jim looks good today! They talked about getting him to rehab soon if he can achieve certain things . Hopefully a couple more days only in ICU I'm guessing but it's a guess.
Pls let Garry Brown know what's up with Jim if you know how to reach. Thanks!

We recently received this message: "My name is Gabriel and I'm from Brazil. I'm making a video about the creation of the expanded universe of star wars and to explain the concept of shared universe in my research I came to a text written by Don Markstein available in his magazine in number 71. I would like to know if it would be possible to send me a photo or scan this article because I would like to illustrate my video with this information. " His zine was in September 1970. He found an image of the K-a TOC for that date. [Looks like it was K-a #71]

We received a message to the page a few days ago. Gary will be reproducing it in the May CMC, but in case anyone reading this page knows the relevant info, I am copying the unresponded parts here.

"Hello! My name is Erika Nakagawa and I'm an assistant editor for W. W. Norton's Critical Editions. We're currently working on a Norton Critical Edition of Will Eisner's A CONTRACT WITH GOD which will include some contextual reviews about the work, previously published in CAPA-Alpha. [...] we're looking to track down two reviews published in the 70s [...] Do you happen to have any contact information for Mike Valerio's estate? If you're able to share any leads, we'd greatly appreciate it!"

and later

"If you find any leads, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would hate to have to drop his review from the book."

So, if anyone knows the contact info for Mike Valerio's estate pass it on to me [Neil] or Joe and we can reply in the Inbox messages.
