Nice job!  Thank you for letting us know.

Oh, I've watched OLTL for years!

Here's the Ralston family tree:

http://www.soapcentral.com/oltl/ftrees/ralston.php

Yancey Ralston was rumored to be Bo's father.  When the latter went to Louisiana to learn more about his supposed roots, he fell for Euphemia's daughter Delila and vice versa, but they didn't act on it because they supposedly were cousins.  Euphemia wanted to get back the family fortune (though she must've married into the family), so she, her daughter Delila, and her nephew Drew moved to Llanview.  The letter you mentioned that Euphemia was trying to get her hands on (written by Twyla Ralston) said that Yancey was sterile, so of course he couldn't have been Bo's dad.  Asa knew Bo was really a Buchanan, but he kept it a secret cuz he had set his own sights on Delila.  By the time Bo found out the truth, Delila and Asa were already married, so Bo slept with Becky Lee and (unbeknownst to him) she became pregnant.

Then Asa faked his own death (<yawn>) so Delila and Bo had an affair, and when Asa showed up (I think at his own funeral), Delila realized she'd been played and dumped Asa for Bo.  Delila found out that Becky Lee was preggers with Bo's baby, so out of insecurity she kept it to herself and also faked her own pregnancy even though it wasn't at all possible.  In the meantime, Becky Lee was supposed to marry Drew but he was murdered.  Asa found out she was going to have his grandson so he talked Becky Lee into marrying him.  BL eventually told Bo the truth and when he found out that Delila knew all along, he dumped her.  I can't remember what led to Euphemia's exit, sorry.

Vicki (Lord), btw, married Asa's other son Clint when she got out of that jail.

Thanks for jogging my memory, Gothick!  Aren't we glad we were spared these types of storylines on DS?  Til 1841 PT, that is.

SHOTGUN!

Better luck next time, Midnite.

ROFL!

I was trying to access http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scifi-darkshadows and a "DULL DNS ERROR" appears instead. I can't access the website.

It works now.

Uhh .. what level is this and what does it mean?

J99 and Julianka,

It's an anagram that's explained a bit more in a topic called What's this? on this board.  Searching for "Full A ed Newest Fervor Post" on Testing 1, 2, 3... (be sure to increase the maximum age) should bring it up.

Each year the same type of program is held without fail.

That's exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about.  Exciting new suggestions have been given to spice up the event, yet every year we're presented with the same tired schedule.

And how many people have complained about the procedure for getting a banquet ticket, yet it never changes?  Oh I'd better quit now.

I will write just for the hell of it but I'm not hopeful that any of our ideas will get past the mailroom and to the person that counts.

Good luck, Carol.  I really mean that.

I also believe that after so many years of successful Festivals, it's practically inevitable that they would begin to take their fans for granted.

Begin to???

Whoops, was that my out loud voice?

Hope victoriawinters won't mind if I post the URL to her Mame photo page on the Shadows in the Sun (LA fan group) site:

Click on the thumbnail, then "next".  That's Peter, Sharon, victoriawinters and ProfStokes with David, and Suzy Stokey, one of the Mame producers, in the 2nd photo.  Enjoy!
