Walt ... Not Disney

Miracles do happen.

No I didn't finish an animated cartoons ... No My forces are still pretty scattered. I fussing over my titles. Rethinking the music.

But after 20 years I've been contacted by my good friend Walter Deanovich. Walt and I met in college, in one of my art classes. I think it was Comp I. He invited me to a friend's house. There I met Mike, Martin and Sue. And it was at Mike's, that we would gather to watch movies. No ... not DVDs! Not VHS tapes! Super 8 and 8mm! Mike would project them on a screen that was as big as his bay window. And they were silent.

Once a week we would all gather. We all collected films from Blackhawk. Mike had the biggest disposable income and wow!!! I can't believe what he collected. Walt and Mike were so knowledgeable ... I learned more from them than any of my professors at college. This was my real school.

However, when I left for Disney, we parted company. Mike moved to Ohio ... Martin and Sue left for West Virginia. Walt was left alone in St Pete. Life was not kind . I kept in sort of contact with Mike. But It wasn't until about a month ago we all reconnected with Walt.

Thank God for Facebook!!!
