Thanks for the update, David.  I was going through some old files this 
weekend, and I came across an letter from Paul Anderson III of Laramie, 
Wyoming announcing that he was starting a new publication titled VACATION 
IN DUCKBURG.  The letter was mailed in April of 1981, and he mentioned 
that he had lost the DUCKBURG TIMES to Frank and Dana Gabbard in August of 
1980.  I had forgotten that Dana was not the original publisher, and I also 
forgot that I had sent money to Paul for a subscription to VACATION IN 
DUCKBURG which never appeared.   I seem to remember hearing about an 
earlier fanzine also titled VACATION IN DUCKBURG published by someone 
else.  Does anyone know of this?

As for THE BARKS COLLECTOR, I may have just let my subscription lapse.  
There was a period of time a few years back when I took leave of my senses 
and lost almost all interest in comics.  This mailing list has helped me 
back on the road to recovery...
