Thanks to everyone who let me know about WHO airing the Floppy Christmas special and to Mike for making it accessible to us all!

Julie let me know that desmoinesbroadcasting.com has a link to me. Thanks, desmoinesbroadcasting.com!
Volume 75, Number 2 (Summer 1994) of The Palimpsest features Floppy on the cover and in articles. You may be able to get a copy of it from the Historical Museum gift shop.

Iowafalls.org has some really cool Floppy stuff up now.

Update, 3/10/02:
This is about the first chance I've had to put up all my cool new Floppy developments, so I'm going to put them all into one file. In fact, I think I'll put all the emails I've got up there so that this page is neater. Oh--and I found out that there's a link to this page on iowafalls.org--I'd like to thank whoever's responsible for that.

Here is a picture of my Floppy birthday cake (baked & decorated by my mom), and here is a picture of my mom & me in the Floppy shirts I made. There's another picture of me in my Floppy shirt on this page.

I don't know what's going on with the merchandising issues, but it does seem that there's hope yet.
Meanwhile, my wonderful boyfriend (now husband!) found this shirt in The Brass Armadillo.
Here's an easier-on-the-modem version of the shirt picture.

I have heard from someone in the museum shop, and she says that she was told that the Elletts don't want any merchandising done. So it may not be the best idea to send email to the gift shop, if there's nothing anyone can do about providing Floppy products. I am, however, trying to find out exactly what the situation is. . .I'll let you all know if I find out. I'm sure we all want to respect the Elletts' wishes, regardless of what they may be.

Update, 8/21/01:
I heard from Bobby Hacker today. . .turns out he's friends with Duane's granddaughter.
I emailed the Historical Museum gift shop today, and you can too (as evidenced by the link). Did I ever even put my own email address, karen@hart.net, on here? But anyway, I asked the gift shop to offer Floppy merchandise. I think that would be great.
You can visit the Historical Museum online, by the way. It's here.
The DMR ran this article recently.

Update, 6/27/98:
I have a report that the Floppy exhibit is indeed permanent. I'm glad. Now if I can just get Lisa to let me scan her picture...

Feel free to check out my main page and my Muppet page!

Update, 4/5/98:
My mom says Floppy isn't at the Historical Building anymore. I hope she's wrong.
