I’m very honored , Paul , my dear ole friend. How about the short film I produced and directed on the

Colorado B Pro Tour ,with the help of all my cameramen friends , You, Don McKinnon, Edgar Boyles , Scott Ransom, Steve Shaw,Bob Fulton ,etc . Richie Hall was prop-man . Then with hours of 35 mm film , you and McKinnon logged it all for me. To finalize, I drove to Santa Monica so you could edit , add music, titles & love to our endeavor . Never will I forget when Maude Feil was camera assistant to Steve Shaw ( who was in the balloon for aerial shots ) dropped one of his lens’s, falling down on the ski course. Alan Shepard, the astronaut , and Pete Coors did cameos ski racing.

Jerry Jeff Walker performed for our wrap party with the B pro racers at the old Paragon.

I actually just found the original and transferred it to DVD!

Thanks Paul for this memorable piece. And I thank DeDe for mentioning me. I was under the balloon when Maude dropped the lense. Steve had some choice words later that evening. One correction.....it was Rambl'n Jack Elliot at the Paragon, not Jerry Jeff.
