I'm just between meetings in the friendly town of Roswell, NM. In an hour, I will be hooking up with an impressive young man that teaches filmmaking in town. We're getting together at the Cattle Baron and, from what I've heard, I'm really looking forward to having a New York cut Pittsburg style. More on this later...
We got up early this morning and headed up to Santa Fe to meet with the Governor's main man Mr. Eric Witt and the honorable Speaker of the House Mr. Ben Lujan. I felt both meetings were successful and was told that PAH would get the blessings from the state. We will work out what sort of blessings later, but blessings are always good. I then broke the law speeding to Roswell to meet the honorable Mayor of Roswell Bill Owen. We covered 171 miles in a couple hours. It's not easy to have a meeting after a long, very fast drive, but I always feel at ease with the people of Roswell. They are very friendly and hospitable and Mayor Owen perfectly personifies this. He invited me on a special 4-day motorcycle ride in May. If I can, I would be delighted to join him. What I like about Roswell, and I'm sure I will find this to be true in the other counties that are not in either the Santa Fe or Albuquerque circle, is that they totally get PAH's big picture. Using this pro-consumer HD technology doesn't just empower individuals but whole communities as well. I have to tell you lately the stuff that really rings true for me is helping people like Mr. Aarne (the retired construction worker from New Jersey) share his story, bringing HD Art to everyday people in Wal-Mart, helping an Art School make an experimental HD lab for its students, helping filmmakers make short digital films at the Duke City Shootout and being able to confidently and articulately spread the word of PAH-- all of these achievements fill me with the greatest sense of well-being and pride that I have never felt before. I need to thank my dear business partner, Elyse Meredith, for backing me so I can achieve what I consider to be so important...bringing people together.
Thank you, Elyse.
Love
