For all the Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs fans out there, there is an annual convention. This year it is being held July 24-27th in Waterloo, IA. The website is http://www.freewebs.com/dumdum2008. Thought you and your readers would like to know! Denny Miller, the oldest living actor to play Tarzan, will be there, too.
