Mitchell, Gilliam and I took
three films to the station in
response to a letter written by
brother Mitchell. They showed
one film and the response was
such, the station requested 30
more films and informed us they
will begin showing the series this
Sunday. The station has already
started advertising the films. All
this is free of charge to us and
should last at least six months.
