I have a few photos …
I have a few photos from those years. I’d be happy to get together and share them.
you are so creepy

I really loved this …
I really loved this movie. The one guy who prevented a suicide, then later the other guy who committed suicide–somehow, the way you arranged this info in the movie was very poignant to me. I also found it interesting how some of the artists clearly liked narrator John immensely, while some of the interview subjects seemed unnerved and wanted to escape, but either way, the narrator John remained unflappably cheerful and good natured. I hope that the elusive Ben sees this sometime…
Love this video …
Love this video John! I agree with Patrick.
With the PAFA Fellowship board, I once had an evening and dinner with Gregory Gillespie. What a great guy to get to know, if very briefly. I think it was 1994.
Great video John. …
Great video John. The academy should use these for marketing. If they only knew how to market themselves properly.
