    Gary Streiner needs your help - "Save The Chapel"

    Forty-four years ago, Gary Streiner was a 17-year-old kid standing in front of a ramshackle chapel building in an Evans City cemetery, helping to film a movie called "Night of the Living Dead."

    These days, Mr. Streiner still visits that spot in the cemetery, in front of the same ramshackle chapel. But now, he's the leader of a growing band of horror fans hoping to preserve the chapel building as a piece of movie history.

    In September, the Evans City Cemetery Association granted Mr. Streiner's request to try to save the structure, giving him one year to raise the estimated $50,000 required to repair the chapel -- the backdrop for Johnny (played by Mr. Streiner's brother, Russ) to utter the iconic line "They're coming to get you, Barbra," in the opening minutes of the film.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Thank you so much for posting this! Gary will be happy to know that this is getting spread around. I told him yesterday about how many threads I was coming across for the chapel. He was blown away! Oh! And since this is news related, here are two reports on the cause...The first is an interview with Gary, and the second are the updates...
