Hello Everyone!
We hope you enjoy our slightly jazzed up e-mail format. It’s been long over due and think it turned really nice!
As usual this week’s e-mail includes a wide variety of information, psycho-babble, event notices, Jedi Mind Tricks, and the New Comic Book & related stuff (see righthand bar) list.
Finally, a bit of advice: If you have an Source Adventure Club Card make sure it’s up to date for our big Blackest Frday event on Friday November 2!
Thanks! See you soon!

Blackest Night Continues!
|
SOURCE MONDAY NIGHT WWI DOGFIGHT!
Monday – November 23rd – 6PM
 So we don’t really don’t know what this event is all about or who’s running it. but based on this fairly general flyer we found in the back of the store on our event board, it appears that someone is running a World War I aircombat game. On the flyer is does state specifically “This is an Aircombat — NOT a “Flying” — game! So here’s the few details we do have:
OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW
November 23, 1916: Skies over Baupaumme
VC-Recipient, RFC Ace Lanoe Hawker VS.
Fresh Up-and-Comer Baron Von Richtofen
Sounds like fun!

TIM’S BACK ISSUE CORNER NEWS & NOTES!
News & Notes Regarding Back Issue Activity at the Source!
Hello from Tim’s Corner where at this time of year, less sun means more reading time… (Gotta look for the silver lining some where when it gets cold). So restock this week went from Terminator through Thunderbolts. More packs this week, as most weeks. More recent comics from the shelves as well. As far as collections go it was one of those weeks where it was one issue of this title, and one issue of that title, not much to group together. You have to put out the strays some time. The only real notable group was some Patsy and Hedy comics. A few issues went out. It’s nice to see those, especially with Marvel experimenting in that area again. Take care til next week! Tim

STUCKEY’S - THE AMERICAN LEGEND IS IN THE HOUSE!
Famous Snack & Treats Are Now Available at the Source!
 A humble beginning. A grand ambition to treat every customer like royalty.Frankly, Stuckey’s owes its beginning to a bumper crop of pecans.In the early 1930’s in Eastman, Georgia, Williamson S. Stuckey, Sr. had such a successful pecan harvest from his family’s orchard that he offered a portion of his bounty for sale in a lean-to roadside shed. Florida-bound tourists traveling the two-lane Georgia 23 blacktop snapped up the flavorful pecans instantly, as gifts for friends and family and as succulent souvenirs of the agricultural south.
As the business continued to flourish, Mrs. Stuckey took to her kitchen and created a variety of homemade pecan candies. The rest, of course, is history.
In 1937, a new building went up in which candy became king. The crowning glory in a profusion of nut-based confections was the now-famous Pecan Log Roll in a size for every appetite and every budget. Restaurant service was added, other fancy foods were stocked, and a souvenir section was installed to cover every whim from rubber snakes to sea-shell ashtrays. Gasoline pumps were a logical addition – all of it tied together with the signature teal blue roof. Stuckey’s had come to life, and a new era of roadside travel service was born.
After a temporary cutback due to sugar rationing during World War II, business boomed again and franchises sold by the score. Mrs. Stuckey’s kitchen stove gave way to a state-of-the-art candy plant to supply an eventual 350-plus Stuckey’s stores located throughout the continental United States.
Paralleling the birth and growth of the Stuckey’s empire, young Williamson S. “Bill” Stuckey, Jr. was growing up in the business – both learning it and loving it – as a precursor to law school and a distinguished political career in Washington, D.C.
A Happy Revival of an American Tradition.
In 1967, in the midst of what was to become W.S. Stuckey, Jr.’s five-term Congressional career, the Stuckey family merged operations with Pet Milk, Inc. While the transaction was the correct “business” decision, changes in management and corporate philosophy at Pet placed a diminished importance on the Stuckey’s operations. Supervision and leadership became more distant and less personal.
Then in 1977, the senior Mr. Stuckey died and in the absence of his personal influence, our company suffered still more setbacks. In the early 80’s, however, following the end of his fifth term in Washington, former Congressman W.S. Stuckey, Jr. decided that he simply could not accept the demise of his family name from the American Landscape.
Determined to recapture the Stuckey’s name and revive the great American tradition, he set up a command post in his adopted home of Washington, D.C. and in 1985, W.S. Stuckey, Jr. and his partners succeeded in repurchasing Stuckey’s.
Today, the legendary Stuckey’s name is dramatically expanding its roadside presence with the successful strategy of a “store within a store” concept by placing Stuckey’s old fashioned southern pecan candy, nuts and souvenirs inside travel plazas and convenience stores along America’s highways. With more than 200 stores in 19 states, from Pennsylvania to Florida and as far west as Arizona, there is no doubt that Stuckey’s and the traditions that made us great are back!
The Source is the first Store, outside of the Stuckey’s family owned & franchised stores, in America to be allowed to carry the Stuckey’s signature line of Snacks & Treats! Honestly, try them…you won’t be disappointed!
