I couldnt find anything on the internet, so I built my own page. Then one day, I got an email from a lady who really seemed to like the show. Her name was Fran White. We became instant friends. It did not matter that she was half a world away in England. We talked about Swamp Thing. We talked about science fiction. We talked about life and family. Fran introduced me to a wonderful bunch of people. Most of you are on this list. We all have this little passion for an obscure little low-budget cable tv show, about a monster from the swamp. Go figure. Last December, I was able to arrange a little family trip to Florida, at the same time as Fran and Carol Chawl. We were able to hook up for a wonderful little dinner where my son Chris did nothing but cause trouble. It was such a joy to meet these people. Fran was so pleasent, so British. She had this vibrant appreciation for wacky stuff like Swampy. There was something radient about her. Fran left us this week, after a long battle with illness. She left far too soon. Steve
