I am so thankful and blessed for you to have me a "part of your team", to help you produce your first film, "THE MILL"!!  As you said, "Well I just put some things down on paper, and LOOK.....all these people are working on my film"!!

Yes, Harry, I do believe it will be a great success!  We had a wonderful cast,

as well as our "multimillion dollar crew"!  I am looking forward to working on "CABIN # 3 in the Spring of 2006"!  Thanks for everything!!!

 

To my dear friend, Paul!

I can't thank you enough for caring enough to keep me in mind with things that  you are doing.

As you said, "THE BOSS" is the ONE that will bring everything together for us.

You have been through so much, and your wonderful spirit keeps holding on.

I know that with "THE BOSS", all things are possible.

Thank you for being a light in my life!

 

To My Special Friend, Ralph S Singleton!

Gosh! What can I say on this one???!!!  

I am so thankful that you have taken me "under your wing" to teach me the "ropes" of being a Producer! 

Without you, I would not have made it this far!  Thanks for taking the time to care enough to help me out!

We have made our first film together, "THE MILL", and I KNOW it will be a HUGE SUCCESS!  I know I still have a long way to go to learn all the "producing things", but I couldn't have done it without your support!  Thanks a million!

 

To my friend, Grainger Hines

Thanks so much for being a part of THE MILL!  With your directing skills

and your wonderful way with the actors, we surely have a great picture!

I am glad that I could make it happen for you to be with us!

Thanks again, Honey Bunny!!! (ha!)
