Several years ago, I met this woman named Ann, who lived in Long Beach. Somehow she knew that I loved 78rpm records, and wanted me to transfer a rather worn out "audiodisc" copy of a 78rpm adult party record! "Audiodisc" was a brand of blank 10 inch records you could buy in the 1940's, to make a record at home. In those days, other than a wire recorder, you could attach a cutting head to your phonograph player, and cut your own record at home! I collect these discs as well, as most of them are familys talking & singing. I met her, we talked and she invited me over to her home to look thru her 78rpm collection (which she bought new as a young girl in the 30's & 40's). Months later, she saw an article about a RHINO VIDEO I produced, in which we used an early DeForest Kelly segment. She called me up, and said that she & Kelly have been life long friends, and he and his wife (also seen in the photos) visits her all the time! She asked me if I could make up a special copy of the film, and then, when DeForest & his wife came over, she would pop it in the VCR and surprise him! Kelly had never before seen the film! I asked if she could take photos of his reaction to the video, and she did, and made me copies!
