Happy Late Birthday to Erle!
AM currently working on a squidoo lens on Perry Mason and am busy cataloging the books and linking them to copies available to buy. Certainly have cut my work out here creating over 160 links! Then I'm doing links to the films and TV episodes. Might skip the 240+ radio episodes! If you want to check out the work in progress you can see it here. Hopefully it will be complete by his next birthday!
