Our first project is tentatively titled, Heroes, a Definition. Come and get involved. We would love to hear from you!

Below are some of the very first people we have inerviewed. We continue to press on and collect interviews and stories.

One of our many subjects for our first documentary, T.J. Wheeler. Wheeler is an astute blues and jazz musician and educator who hails from New Hampshire. He is a W.C. Handy award winner for his educational programs.

"When I was a kid, like 10 years old or so, I loved Sandy Koufax. He was a Jewish baseball player for the major league, the Brooklyn (Los Angeles) Dodgers. I remember him distinctly not pitching a game in the 1965 World Series. I didn't understand it at the time, but he didn't pitch because of Yom Kippur. I thought that was kindah crazy, but he was a hell of a ball player... - Eichenbaum Gravenburg

When we were kids we loved to watch westerns. Tom Mix, William Boyd, better known as Hopalong Cassidy, Hoot Gibson, Audie Murphy, Tex Ritter and John Wayne later in life. Westerns in those days, the cowboys captured the bad guys and good prevailed. - William T. Beddow , Kati's wonderful 90 year old dad.

The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection; and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow. -Washington Irving

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands. - Robert Persig

My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes. - Michael Jordan

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom. - Bob Dylan

Hard times don't create heroes. It is during the hard times when the 'hero' within us is revealed. - Bob Riley
