Said Eisenhower: "Day Two of the search had the IEF exploring all the DVD shops in the Wuxi Expatdom area. No one saw the Toronto Expats. However, we did make some interesting DVD finds. Gary said he found a copy of The Wizard of Oz that also had a one-hour documentary about the making of the Wizard of Oz. Anders was proud to have found a 3 rmb copy of They Drive by Night, featuring George Raft, Humphrey Bogart, Ida Lupino and the actor who later played the skipper in Gilligan's Island. Boris found a copy of the original True Grit starring John Wayne. Hank is all excited because he has found a box set of Hogan's Heroes. Frank has found a tall package DVD set containing all the films of Astaire and Rodgers. So, even thought the search for the missing expats, has been unsuccessful, we are thrilled with the DVD purchases we have been able to make."
Asked if anyone was able to find a good copy of the Coen Brothers version of True Grit, Eisenhower said "that the guy at the shop he went to said the copy currently circulating in Wuxi Shops isn't very good."
Asked what the plans were for the third day of the search, Eisenhower said "The general council of the IEF will convene a meeting tonight at Gambay's Pub in the 1912 Bar District. It should be a productive meeting because all beers at Gambays are half-priced tonight and it is all you-can-the-clams-you-can-eat for just 19 rmb as well!"
The Wuxi China Expats from Toronto, Canada went missing after staging a protest for Molasses and Pork Chops at Wuxi China Expatdom's Harry Moore Square on February 14.
