Hi, Elaine--

I was discussing you and showing the photos of the gravesites to a couple of coworkers. We now run the marketing, graphics, and video groups for a large medical association in Washington, but we have all written books and articles, and been involved in documentaries and such.

We were saying that the Moseley story, and your own story, would make a great couple of documentaries.

I sure hope that you can find someone with the courage and imagination to take on such projects, and NOW, while the prime movers are still among us.

Someone said in this thread that it would be a lot of work. Yes, but worth it and necessary.

You might start by seeing if there any film clubs at local colleges and universities. This could be some deserving student's breakout film.

Best to you and yours--

--Jim

Hi, Elaine. This is Vincent. We met a few times at CAAS in Nashville. Last time was this July. We were supposed to get together and view some of you guitars that weekend. But unfortunately, my wife did not feel well and we had to leave earlier on Friday morning. I know I have missed a great opportunity.

I was away from the forum for a while and just came back a month or so ago. What a pleasant surprise to see you join the forum and provide so many valuable information and pictures on Mosrite guitars. I would like to say hello earlier but did not want to interrupt your conversation with other members on many interesting subjects.

Glad to see you here.
