ABOVE:  The cover of one of the many issues
of The Jot 'Em Down Journal which was
published continuously for 23 years.  The
periodical was, from day one, edited by
co-founder Tim Hollis.
LEFT:  The back cover of the final printed edition of
The Jot 'Em Down Journal, issued in 2007.  The
painting by "Uncle Donnie" Pitchford is based on a
poignant "closing the store" episode of the
Lum and Abner radio show.
 Welcome!
        This is the on-line version of The Jot 'Em Down
Journal, which was the printed periodical of the National
Lum and Abner Society.  It debuted with the August
1984 issue, enjoying a 23-year run, concluding with the
Summer 2007 release.  Editor and NLAS Executive
Secretary Tim Hollis' schedule was simply too crowded
at that time to continue with the Journal.  President and
Vice-President "Uncle Donnie" Pitchford and "Singin'
Sam Brown" were too busy as well, so it was decided by
the three "Zeckatif Ossifers" to cease publication and
develop an expanded on-line organization.
       We will be offering various "blasts from the past" as
well as current news in the "pages."  Check out the
articles below!  For the first time, we can present
illusrrations in color, something that was not
economically feasible with our paper publication.
       Also, we will be offering our printed back issues for
sale.  See our "SHELVES" to see what is availabe.  Visit
often!  Updates do not follow a regular schedule.
