Wow!  Hi Russ -
Welcome to the group!  We cannot wait to hear your comments, 
recollections, rants and raves.  I will never forget what a terrific and 
understanding PSM you were on the Mercury tour.  It's great to know you 
are doing so well.

I have a number of photos of you back then, including a few of you 
running a rehearsal, that have been donated to List Mama Nina's amazing 
Hair Online Archive.  Check out the photos third and fourth from the top 
on this page:

...Cool, huh?  I wonder what untold riches are lurking in boxes at YOUR 
house ;-)????

Lots more to come -
Peace, Love, Liberty, Happiness -
Bill

>>From then to now is too long of a story, but briefly, I am now and have been for the last 15 years been a lighting director/gaffer for a large production house in Columbus, Ohio. The name of the company is Mills\James Productions. This job has kept me incredibly busy over that time. We do corporate videos, broadcast shows, make commercials regionally and nationally,and do live corporate events all over the planet.  I have designed lights for such large corporate events such as Honda of America, Express, Scotts, SBC,Victoria's Secret, J.P. Morgan Chase, and too many to go on. I won a regional emmy for a major event the United Nations did here in Columbus. Sort of fun, I guess.
