Look forward to getting this each year - particularly enjoyed 2011 with the history of SA's role in Hollywood film making.

I never knew that the Wally World parking lot in NL's Vacation was actually SA's parking lot... Good stuff.

This is my favorite one ever. Just got it and it flipped open to the page (May) with We All Love Aleyna and I was stunned (and thrilled!). Was such a fan and had wondered where he was... seeing him and Lava Man showcased like that was fantastic. SO happy Acclamation and Amazombie got their own (well deserved) months.

Beautiful shots as always but really...this is my favorite one and whoever came up with the idea of second careers should be applauded big time.

THANK YOU.

(Oh and one last thing.. that's how I want to remember PVal... like the picture for September and not the events of late).

Will check Jim.. We got 600 requests this year which was double last year, so it may be taking Rick a little longer to get them out.
