I'd like to post a Happy Anniversary to my very good friends Michael
& Lisa-Marie Wistock on this occasion of their 6th Wedding
Anniversary. Many collectors will remember Michael when he ran
Collectors Empire in the 90's. And he's such a fan that one of
his son's is named Harrison. Coincidence? I think not. Here's
wishing them a great day and many more years filled with love
and joy.

from Indiana and I am a huge fan of Indy Car racing and I found
these pics on the Indianapolis Star website. They have made
Marco Andretti's suit appear to look like Indy's shirt and jacket
with the whip and the sack there too. It's a little hard to

Posted 18:00 by Les Long-time reader John writes in with several great
Indy stories. So take it away John -
"I
am a longtime reader and enjoy your website. I actually use
it my classes with my students! I am Chair of Sociology and
teach at the College of Lake County. I wanted to let you know
about two bits of news for your site."
A surprise
for Indiana Jones fans today is that Marco Andretti will
reveal a Indy themed car that he is going to drive on May 25th
at the Indy 500. The car is #26 Team Indiana Jones Presented by
Blockbuster car.
The car is going to tour the at Blockbuster stores across the
nation before going to the Indy 500.
"I
am also teaching a class called Introduction to Sociology: The
Sociology of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's Films. The
class (SOC 121-015) will be offered on Thursdays starting this
August from 12:30 to 3:15 p.m. and will introduce students to
the science of sociology utilizing examples from the real world
of society, and the reel worlds of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's
films. Sociological theories and research, and their application
to culture, socialization, religion, technology, inequality
and media are the themes of the class."
Films such
as THX-1138, American Graffiti, Star Wars, Indiana Jones,
Schindler's List, Amistad and E.T. will be used
as examples of the themes, and the fans of Star Wars and
Indiana Jones will be discussed. The class will have an entire
section of lectures devoted to the sociological meanings of John
Williams' music. Students will present a paper about the sociological
themes of the films and music, and what those films illuminate
about the 1970's to 2000's zeitgeist. Registration is now open.
