Howdy Yall! I will be in Tombstone continuing to preserve our sacred western history the first week in December.
I will be the technical director for a fumigation on the Bird Cage Theater.
I will be sending all my equipment out to monitor this fumigation. It will be exciting to have been a part of treating the OK Corral several months ago, and now treating the Bird Cage Theater.
I will be taking pictures that I will be posting as I did with the OK Corral when the job is completed.
Just wanted you to be a part of it.
Take care my friends!
Regards,
Larry

You may want to tent and fumigate a few of the locals as well.



Make sure to have LeRoy show you his fast draw. Fastest I've ever seen.

I wonder how the Bird Cage 'residents' will react to the fumigation!

If you are speaking of the "Orbs" they are not on the Zythor Gas Fumigant Label. Hopefully the chloropicrin warning agent will run them all out before the job is gassed.
If you are speaking of the pest varmits, they will all be cooked when its over.
Take care my sweet soft devil!!!

Doc holliday never went to a sanitorium , he went to a kinda hotel and died three months after his arrival.I'd like to know more bout Doc cos he's my favourite Western character.John wayne is another.

Just a side note to your inquiry about Doc Holliday. I actually spent a weekend with Bill Dunn a good friend of mine and a distant cousin of Docs in Griffin Georgia a few weeks ago. I gave him a piece of the old boardwalk from the OK Corral for his museum he has there. He is a great southern gentleman and fine man. I have learned more about Doc from him than anyone. Ben Traywick Tombstone Historian used much of Bills info in his book "John Henry".
Doc died on Nov 8, 1887 at age 36 in the Hotel Glenwood, in Glenwood Springs Colorado. I have a picture of the Hotel as it looked when Doc was there. If I can attach it I will put it on here.
Take care,
Larry

This is a section in the Doc Holliday Museum featuring pictures of me at the OK Corral and the piece of wood I donated to the museum. There is also a letter from me as to the authenticity of this piece of history..
