Dear Barbara, I have a connection with Time-Warner Cable. I will try him today and I will call Ivan with details if we can pull it off.

Ivan is looking for a way of copying his >copy of the video. He was able to obtain 2 high quality videos from friends >who watched, but is concerned that commercial vendors who could make copies of >the video for those of us who want one (and there appear to be quite a number) >would make the cost of it and the mailing prohibitive, which brings me to my >first question. Does anyone have access to a means of making copies. It >occurred to me that a cable facility or perhaps a vocational school that >taught this sort of thing might be the way to go. What do you think? > >Another question we had was whether or not the television station would have a >problem with our copying and disseminating such a tape. Does anyone know the >usual protocol for securing permission here? > >So many of us want to see the newest star in our midst but I'm afraid we will >have no way of doing so if we can't think of a way of helping Ivan secure >permission, make copies cheaply, and mail them. It was quite an undertaking >just for Ivan to represent us, which we all know he did well (Those of you who >have heard his fine voice must know as I now do what a fine orator he is. All >those years as a college professor show! And his voice was spared from the >wrath of the disease, blessedly.) I would volunteer and should since I'm >asking all the questions, but feel I have too much on my plate, working full >time, etc., etc. > >But this group is composed of folks with tons of ideas and resources, so I >look to you for help for all of us in helping Ivan to continue his service to >us. > >Will be looking forward to hearing from you. Perhaps a volunteer would be >willing to undertake some of this for Ivan. > >Sincerely, >Barb Brock >
