With video cameras so easy now, we should be able to preserve these giants for the future generations. I was going to do it at my expense, and had gotten permission from Bob Penny and a couple of others. Now might be time for someone else to take it on. That is a good idea Evan...the interview could be published in the REVIEW, the video could be added to the club library and available as educational video's in the archives. Excellent idea, perhaps something the board should discuss. My idea was to travel to those I could not do at the National. I planned on the Fords, Cappy and Gloria, The Rinkes, Ernie Loeb, Bob Penny, Joan Fox, Barbara Amidon, Jimmy Moses, and about five others. When it was taken over, the list didn't make sense to me, and so I withdrew. My idea was to meet, set up two video cameras, and just have a conversation as I would normally with them. Then to edit it to about 20 minutes. With the number of people now involved, it might be easier. I found as soon as a committee started to work on it, it died a natural death. I should have just done it, and not mentioned it until it was done. Now, I have lost my desire to do it. I think when Ernie, Bob and Joan died, I realized the chance was gone for so much of our history. The person who was going to take it over, has died as well. Evan L.
