Thanks again to the Internet and the Web, we received ten of the Tucson Press Club's (TPC) annual The Hellbox. Hopefully, we'll be able to determine if there are any rights and permissions to pursue before creating a new website about the TPC and, in particular, these annuals.

The Hellbox issues were sent by Tyler St.Mark in California who wrote that his "parents, Marklan & Beverly Manning, were active members of the TPC during the 50's and early 60's and even appeared in some of the annual Gridiron Shows. My siblings and I grew up knowing many of the club's prominent members including "Uncle Jess" (Riggles)."

TPC ended in 1991, as far as I can tell. The Hellbox and its annual Gridiron show are unique to Tucson's 20th century history. We hope to bring it to the Web for students and community members to appreciate.
