Snow,

MANY THANKS for the bump.

Mel is one of my favorite Hollywood folks. Seems to pick projects emphasizing the concept of freedom to an increasingly uncaring, unconcerned citizenry.

I'm working on a screenplay myself I'd like to run by him on one of the most under-discussed topics in the country today.

Was an AF instructor between '62 -'66 and never got to Nam myself, but have a number of friends' names on THE WALL in DC.

Still can't bring myself to go there.

I've been there 5 times...the first was the one I needed and the rest were the ones I wanted.

Thank you for responding my friend. The Wall is hard to be sure. The first time I went to The Wall, I went with several Viet Nam Vets that I had been writing to and their wives. After we left there was a prayerful silence among all of us for several hours. No one could speak, and the tears flowed, and the hugs were many.

Thank you again.
