Car Stolen
Below came from a member of our car club. Keep your eyes open.
Subject: ~~Special Dogwood Notice - Stolen Vehicle Alert!!~~

Hey Dogwoodies!

 We've had the misfortune of having a fellow Dogwoodie's car stolen. Phil Parkey & Ben Lewis had their 1965 Corvair Corsa Convertible taken in the last couple days. This gorgeous black convertible really stands out in traffic. Given its rarity, if you see one on the road, it's quite possible theirs. Please watch for this vehicle on the road or listed for sale anywhere. If you come across anything suspicious, contact the local authorities immediately and then notify Phil or Ben. We would appreciate your help in getting their vehicle back and apprehending the low life thieves!

 Details:

         1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Convertible

        Black exterior with White Top & Interior

        Four Carburetor 140 HP engine

        VIN # 107675WI75678

 

Contact:

         1. Local Law Enforcement 

        2. Phil Parkey or Ben Lewis @ 678-640-9518

 

Happy Motoring!

Move the curser to the new page and press right click past. Do you have a short cut computer tip to share? Please send it to us.

Dish from the Gay PAST
William Rufus DeVane King, a U.S. Senator from Alabama and best friend of America's only bachelor president, James Buchanan, was born. Andrew Jackson called him "Miss Nancy" and others referred to him as "her" and "Aunt Fancy." King was even referred to as President Buchanan's First Lady!
From "The Gay Book of Days", by Martin Grief.
 
People are Talking
Metropolis Jack was spotted at Busch Gardens with Paris Hilton? & Kids? Guess which Drag Divas were caught twirling on the pole at a local Straight Stripper Bar! The private show in the vault at the Vault was very naughty. Let's do it again soon! Billy, one of the owners of,  The Male Room said  "he will be pulling something new off?" We think he should keep it on!
