Hello. I'm a theatre professor new to taping and collecting game shows. I'm a big fan of the Peter Marshall Hollywood Squares, and taped them all from GSN when they were running them a few years ago. But this May, my wife and I had a terrible house fire (started by our car) and lost EVERYTHING we ever owned. We made it out of the house alive with our one-year old in our arms and that, of course, is the MOST important thing!

I’ve noticed that some traders are transferring their collection of tapes to DVD and, since I don't have any more tapes to trade, I would offer to transfer a trader’s Hollywood Squares episodes to DVD for free. They could send me a few tapes, I would put them on DVD and send them back (with the tapes returned if wanted), and then we could do a few more.

If this idea appeals to anyone, I'd appreciate your getting in touch with me - simply another HS fan who wants to begin to replace what we lost in the fire. And it would save you some time and money, too.

with kind regards,
