This is not quite correct.  Yellowstone National Park
in Wyoming/Montana/Idaho is the world's first National
Park and was established on March 1, 1872.  Hot
Springs Reservation was set aside on April 20, 1832,
but it was not "dedicated to publice use as a park"*
until June 16, 1880.  (*The National Parks: Index
1999-2001)

I've gotten so far back on reading e-mail that it isn't even funny...

That Outer Limits episode you're looking for was actually a New Twilight
Zone episode. It was called "Red Snow," and had to do with a KGB agent sent
to a remote Siberian village to investigate the deaths of two other Party
members.  Eventually, he does discover that a "healthy" portion of the town's
residents are vampires who guard the town during the long winter night in
exchange for protection during the daylight months.  I saw this one a few
months back on TNT and got it on tape...somewhere.

Here's a New Twilight Zone episode guide link (with a summary of "Red
Snow"):

I had also thought of some possible FK uses for places either close to, or
above, the Arctic Circle.  I could see Nick running off to escape LaCroix
again, and choosing a remote outpost like Fairbanks or Nome, Alaska, or
Whitehorse, Yukon.  Of course, he'd probably be on the move again come summer
(20 or so hours of continuous daylight would give him cabin fever for sure!)

At last, a way to link the Twilight Zone episodes to FK!

One of the episodes features one of the 47 actors in Canada. 

From the sysnopsis list of hte Twilight Zone eps sent by Stephen:

Memories
Written by: Bob Underwood
Directed by: Richard Bugajski
Music by: Louis Natale
Starring: Barbara Stock; Nigel Bennett
Summary: A regression therapist finds herself transported to a universe
where everybody remembers their past lives, and ends up teaching people how
to forget them.

BTW folks - apologies for thinking it was an Outer Limits ep. As I've said
earlier on, I really wish I had the FK vamps' total recall.

I don't know if he could, as it happened more than a
century before LC was made a vamp.

Subject: FK Moment

Hi everyone,

I've had a couple of FK moments lately:

1) I did some historical research on the region where
I live now and found out that Sophie, Duchess of
Brabant (b.1224!)is considered the founding mother of
it.

2) We have a full size replica of a Pompeian Villa
(it's a museum) with a gorgeous park in our city. It
could very well have been Uncle's old place and I go
there when I need some inspiration.

3) Aschaffenburg (where I live) has a medieval city
center largely from the 12th and 13th century and when
you walk through it you pass a house with a
beautifully ornamented sign that says "Chevalier" on
it.

So just taking a stroll through town gives you a hell
of a "flashback"

Luc ( from sunny Germany where we have Monday off from
work as well ;)

For all of us who would have liked to see Natalie get more of the credit for
solving cases, here is an article from the ASCP proving that the crime scene
investigators and M.E.s both real and fictional are finally getting some of
the credit they disserve.

    ASCP Award to Honor CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's William Petersen

More William Petersen links:

Full biography
CSI official website


 William Petersen, star and co-executive producer of the highly rated and
critically acclaimed CBS drama, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," will
appear at Pathology Today®: The ASCP Annual Meeting in New Orleans, La.,
this September to accept the ASCP Special Recognition Award.

ASCP President E. Eugene Baillie, MD, FASCP, will present the ASCP award to
Mr. Petersen at the Society's Opening Ceremonies at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday,
September 18, 2003, at the Riverside Hilton Hotel in New Orleans.

The ASCP is honoring Petersen for his positive portrayal of forensic and
investigative sciences through his work on the CSI television program and
the tremendous increase in the public's awareness of pathology and medical
laboratory science that he has helped to create.

Petersen and others involved with the show steered the hit program to a
number one rating position in just two seasons. Part of the show's success
is attributed to Petersen's attention to detail and his insistence on
authenticity as co-executive producer. He has stocked the CSI "laboratory"
with several million dollars' worth of laboratory equipment, including a
$500,000 ballistics identifier, and a morgue for the series' coroner Albert
Robbins, MD. Petersen's character, Gil Grissom, is described as someone "who
could no more work in another profession than a fish could stop swimming."
Grissom's philosophy about his work is: "If you want to learn about
forensics, master everything else first."

Petersen also testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2001 on
increased funding for crime labs. "Labs across the country are faced with a
myriad of problems. Caseloads have grown faster than funding and backlogs
are expanding," said Petersen in his Senate testimony. "Many labs have
outdated facilities and equipment and an insufficient number of qualified
personnel to conduct the analyses that are so vital to our criminal justice
system."

The ASCP Special Recognition Award was presented to Jack Klugman, star of
the TV series "Quincy" in 1979 and to C. Everett Koop, MD, the former U.S.
Surgeon General, in 1989.

I'd still like to see a CSI/FK crossover.  Natalie would have her hands full
trying to keep Nick's secret away from Grissom.  I'm sure Nick would be a
puzzle Grissom couldn't let alone.
