[Oe List ...] Fwd: Gandhi

[Len Hockley]

Hi Folks,

This hot off the press.  Do we still have connections with Ben Kingsley 
and/or Richard Attenborough.  I thought that if we do we might be able to 
help the sponsors of this event.  They are trying to get Columbia Pictures 
to re-release the picture to the theaters at that time.
