OS & friends took on conservatives in Omaha in 2001, documentary film now on DVD

Back in 2001, a small group of people in Omaha tried to save the the last Super Cinerama theater (The Indian Hills)in the world. I was the Chairman of the group. We were fighting the largest non profit hospital in Nebraska. The Methodist board is made up the wealthiest conservatives in town. They never saw the the uproar coming over turning the theater into a parking lot. For two months the public cheered our group on. We had stars writing letters on our side. Lenard Maltin did a commercial and more. Rallies, petitions, and a Landmarks Commission fight are all here. We had over a dozen AP stories that ran around the globe. Follow our story and the stories of several other groups fighting to save classic movie palaces. "Preserve me a Seat" has been an award winner at several film festivals nationwide. I recommend the 2 disk SE. Here is your chance to see what I'm like in person. :-)

1. A very good private letter

Someone remembered the Indian Hills AP stories. Thank you.
