I got that book, you guys, Mormon Lives, I actually got three copies so I could give some to my friends. You guys, that is a really good book. I am reading it very slowly. I also got Ester Rasband’s book, but I can’t remember who recommended them.

Charlotte lives in Glendale, CA. I don’t have an email address for her, but you might try to find her phone number. I’m sure she has CDs for sale.

I would love to get a copy of Charlotte Smurthwaite’s “Lift Me” Do you have any idea where I could find one?

Brother Dutcher:

Suzy is so nice! She didn’t know a thing about this but she must field odd requests all the time because it didn’t faze her! She wouldn’t let me send a SASE. All right, but if you end up a stamp’s worth of funding short for your film you know to blame me.

Thank you! My son will be so excited. You’re considerably easier to reach than the Calvin and Hobbes guy, whom fame drove into hiding. :-)

A very grateful Mama,
Sheri Lynn

Got it, thanks, Greg, I ordered two copies. I could swear I went to Amazon after B&N, but maybe I just went right to Sam Weller. Glad you were up late :).

Sheri Lynn,

Please give Suzy a call at Zion Films. (801) 344-8764. She’ll forward your address to me. I’d be honored to send your son an autograph.

Annegb:
I bought my copy of Taber’s Mormon Lives off of eBay, four or five years ago; you may want to check there. And Amazon currently has 24 copies available from third parties, starting at four bucks.

My eldest child is high-functioning autistic, and he has GOD’S ARMY memorized. He keeps trying to organize his sisters into helping him play the hostile-nonmember-at-the-door practical joke on us. His sisters won’t do it because they know what he fails to understand–the trick won’t work if we know them already! But maybe we should all play along once. It would make his day!

My son’s love of that movie is one reason why I wish the Joseph Smith movie could be made in a family-friendly way. But if wishes were investigators, then missionaries wouldn’t get any sleep.

Brother Dutcher, you’re among the elite souls of whom my son wishes to obtain an autograph. (On his list, you rank just beneath the man who wrote CALVIN AND HOBBES, and the pretty girl who plays violin in our university’s orchestra.) I suppose I ought to see if I can come up with a way to send you a SASE. Anyway, thanks for what you do. It’s akin to the building of worlds, isn’t it? Good practice, anyway.

A. Greenwood, I was quoting and linking to that article to demonstrate that the movie itself was claiming a background check on a specific character would have made all the difference. The article itself is in my opinion very interesting but I’m not necessarily clinging fast to that perspective of the movie’s message.
