NEAS mentioned in TV Guide (June 12) (thanks to Diane for the picture) Cambridge Springs news (May 22, 2004) Hello group, I also want to emphasize that this is YOUR Society and I wish to hear from everyone on thoughts and ideas of how to proceed in the future. Any and all ideas are welcomed, so email or write to me. Some options are to try to continue at CS, or have local meetings around the country. We could discuss if a full week would continue, or maybe an extended weekend. There are other areas to explore in the CS area, like the Jimmy Stewart Museum near Pittsburg. I have investigated bus travel from CS to the museum. It would cost under $20 per person to participate in that activity. This trip is not planned for this year, however. Keep in mind that expenses must be controlled and lots of planning may fall on the "host" of the geologic region. Local hosts could set up a weekend to emphasize the cultural venues in their area. As an example, if I were to host in the Detroit area, we have a wonderful revival theater in town, showing the old movies. Live theater and/or concerts are also a possibility. These get togethers would not be all cost inclusive as is CS, though. We will also have discussions at Cambridge this summer in this regard. So, submit your thoughts and hopes for the future of NEAS and its gatherings. We want to hear from YOU. Yes, this is a year of many changes, but together we can keep NEAS thriving to keep Nelson's name and legacy alive for future generations. Fondly, NEAS opens Offical Site (May 16, 2004) Recently NEAS has presented itself to the World Wide Web with it's brand new site, designed by webdesigner Ginny Sayre who owns our affliate Reel Jewels. It also has the new option of applying for membership online using Paypal. Diane, who ran the Nelson Eddy Drive trip, has become the president of the NEAS and was the one leading for the website. Please visit the website and check out the internet face of the organization. Nelson Eddy's Star's Refurbished (October 1, 2003) Now that the Nelson Eddy Dedication has come and past, we were able to find out what was that secret. Arabella and Co has paid for the refurbishing of the three stars that Nelson holds. People were lucky to see the newly cleaned stars when they went this weekend. Nelson Eddy Dedication (October 1, 2003) The Nelson Eddy Drive Dedication (September 27, 2003) that happened this weekend seems to have gone without major difficulty. For more information about what happened this past weekend, please see the page dedicated to this event, with accounts from several participants as well as pictures and articles. Nelson Dedication Update (August 10, 2003) http://www.forevernetwork.com/flowersandgifts/showitems.cfm?CategoryID=6 You could also FTD from your local florist, of course. I know some are already planning to send or bring flowers and NEAS will be represented with a floral tribute as well. I will be posting an agenda for the program in the lobby of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Printed programs will be available as well. Although there will be a few private cars on site, please plan to take a cab or provide your own transportation for the short trip to the cemetery from the hotel. Cabs can be arranged through the parking valet in the lower lobby of the hotel. Remember to get those reservations in at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel so we can all be together and maximize our time together. reserve@hollywoodroosevelt.com Diane Make your reservations soon. I unfortunately will not be attending due to prior engagements (AKA High School)m but I want everyone to go and tell me what happens! Dorothy K. Jadlowiec has already agreed to making a summery of the trip when she returns and I am going to ask a few more of my Nelson friends who are going to write about what happened. Hopefully you will see a Nelson Dedication page in the future!
Hollywood Forever Update Version 2.0! Surprises in Hollywood? Apparently there is a rumor of a surprise for Nelson fans happening in Hollywood during the time of the Dedication ceremonies. I am currently checking into this development and shall report back when information arises. Hollywood Forever Update The Ceremony for naming the street has been set for September 27, 2003. Everyone is welcome to attend. It takes place at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary. Hollywood Forever During the past year, Nelson fans have gathered together to collect money for Nelson Eddy Drive at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood CA.

This is to raise funds to help improve the property which has been neglected for many years. More information on this project will come in the future.
