from our collective.

Matt,
         The purpose is simply that it can be done, I enjoy writing and am
willing to do it, and it rarely does any harm to try to improve a situation.
I am not, and have never been a true businessman, but my words in song and
prose have affected many people profoundly. Consider it at worst, a vain
attempt by a naive, and at best, a valiant effort.

As film is a semi-perishable product, and we're all gonna' buy what we're
gonna' buy when we're gonna' buy it- I'm hopefully making an informative and
emotionally attractive appeal that I hope will have more impact than good
short-term sales figures in February.

If we get an interested bite or two, wouldn't it then be great if Chuck,
Jerry, Tony H. and those most knowledgeable about emulsion could actually
talk to their counterparts in Rochester to design the ultimate films?

And oops, Matt- now I see you did catch me on the Marling! Good work.

WK
