Two very kind people in Dallas, Texas are greatly interested in what we are doing with “History Matters” in Ukraine. They have a HUGE heart For the widows in Ukraine and want to get their stories documented NOW!!! They also have the latest in technology to get the job done proFessionally, because they ARE proFessionals. Funding is the big question for us now because what they do is highly technical on very Fancy equipment!!! We have the content, especially aFter reading the research papers, viewing videotapes of “History Matters” and mulling over all the great quotes From the interviews. These Texans have the technology!!! Now it means getting some money to bankroll this so we can have a demo DVD to give out to people. My dream, will it be a reality? I hope and pray so.
Last night as I was “innocently” working at my computer, an overhead light one Foot above my laptop Fell onto my keyboard. Now I do not have a key of “F” and have taped over the spongey thing in order to keep typing. I hope to get this Fixed because it has slowed me down a bit. I had been grumbling earlier about all the bills I have to pay and the health insurance data that wasn’t getting through via computer. I was vexed and now even more so with my laptop’s missing tooth! This computer has perFormed very well for me, it may be getting old (only a year and a halF old) but I don’t want to give it up.
I know the Bauers from Texas have had their share of trials, mine does not compare to theirs, with their Fancy technology. But what Fun to show their DVD to all my friends and family along the way from Phoenix to home. What an excellent job they do especially showing the soup kitchen or the renovation of an old church in Odessa. The Feeling they leave with their viewers oF the DVD is they want to see MORE! Always a good sign when people are gripped by the stories told by the older Ukrainians. I’ve seen the one “Food for the Soul” about ten times and the First several times I could not help but cry. So sad are the stories of these older members of Ukrainian society.
We shall see iF their equipment will be used to bring out the realities of what my dear Ukrainian students have uncovered in their interviews and research papers about Ukraine’s older generation.
