[Oe List ...] Lynn True-World Premier of Summer Pasture-Durham, NC Film Fest

[Isobel and Jim Bishop]

Hello Lynda and colleagues,
Thank you  very much for posting this note about Lynn True and Nelson  
Walker's inspiring film. It would be great if it made its way out to  
Australia....   from what I saw it seems very sensitive and profound.
Many thanks,
  In peace,
Isobel Bishop.
