The story and the link to the trailer for the film only whets my appetite to see the finished film of someone who apparently was not only undaunted by difficult economic circumstances but ended up responding to her community in empowering fashion. I hope the grandson some day distributes the film our way to the Olympia Film Society theater. I loved this story.

Thanks for shining a spotlight on my Bubba's story. I am grateful to You and StoryCorps for seeing the value in the yarns of regular folks like Rose. In Colonial Times, the Spaniards melted precious Incan art into gold bricks that could be more easily shipped across the sea. In the 20th Century, oil and lumber barons laid waste to huge swaths of rainforest, destroying precious biodiversity. Sometimes it takes an enlightened mind to see what is truly precious in this world, and you folks at StoryCorps have that vision. These tales will become exponentially more valuable with the passage of time. Thank you for not trampling over them in search of fool's gold. Josh Gippin Joshua Tree Video Productions Dear Chaela,
