The trip to Washington D.C. was a positive one. I met with a few politicians who promised to look into helping my brother. We’ll see. I do appreciate the process of being able to meet face to face with elected officials and voicing your concerns. Up until this weekend, I’d only read about such things. I located some important letters Libbie Custer wrote to George while in D.C.. I’m anxious to get back into writing today and adding the find to the text of the book. Hopefully this week there will be some forward movement with the western Thunder Over the Prairie. Walter Hill is still set to direct and there has been interest in the project from actors Steve Zahn and Ethan Hawke. The producers that optioned the book Playing for Time are meeting with a casting director this week. The process from book to script to actual production is a long one. I don’t know that the book The Cowboy and the Senorita will ever see the studio lights, but I believe strongly that Roy Rogers and Dale Evans’ story should be told. I think it’s particularly important now that their museum is closing. With all that in mind?I’m off to work.
