Greetings.
This week is fairly straightforward. I will paste what I sent to the FC and XO earlier in the week first off. :
<<
Greetings Sirs. I have been working on what you requested about the Honorary Members page. Here is what I have thus far.
Shannon Baksa is now Shannon McRandle, she got married and changed her name and the website reflected the change. Easy thing to miss. here is her updated website. http://www.shannonmcrandle.com/
Ian Liston doesn't seem to have a personal webpage, but I am going to find that out from him. I have a site you can use for the time being that does let members contact him. It is www.wesjanson.com It's basicly just like his old site, just alittle more updated. I will email him and see what's going on.
I am also emailing Ken Colley and Peter Mayhew. Mr. Mayhew's email has already gone out, now I'll be emailing Ken Colley (Admiral Piett). I will let you know what the result is as soon as I recieve those emails.
I am also going to, upon recieving a response, ask Mr. Mayhew what other SW Actors he might think are receptive to the idea of becoming an Honorary Member.. going through him, I have my eyes on Kenny Baker and Frank Oz. R2-D2 and Yoda would make some kick ass Honorary Members don't you think? >:P

None of the actors I sent an email to this week responded. :/ I hope they will be able to update thier site info soon.
I also reported to the GA that I will start to target the less famous characters of the SW Movies, people that will be easier to talk to and convince (hopefully) to be interviewed by the EH and become and Honorary member.
I have a list made up a few SW Characters that I will be trying for ( in addition to Frank Oz and Kenny Baker). But I am VERY open to suggestions. If there is a SW Character that would you would like to see interviewed/talked to, let me know. I'm just an email away.
That's if for this week. Here comes the SW News... have a good one!
