[GSBN] Historic SBH Tour (was re: The Scott Home), the DVD

[Joyce Coppinger]

Rob,

Thanks for all the suggestions and input. Always helpful.

The Nebraska Educational TV station here in Lincoln has already shot lots of
footage with interviews by attendees at the 2nd Nebraska SB Conference in
2000. I'd like to look at that footage before shooting anything more. There
will be opportunities to provide home-type videos of the buildings and of
tour participants as some of the local camera club - not just novices but a
few professionals - are interested in going on the tours and maybe shooting
print-photos for publicizing the tour and for future publication or use, and
perhaps some video by the videographer.
