You know, Bobby, I've wanted to see Saving Private Ryan ever since its release, but something's always come up. I understand it's on HBO this month, but I don't have the schedule. I heard a lot of Normandy vets needed counseling after viewing the movie. Oh, BTW, good news! "Sierra", the magazine of the Sierra club picked up the option on a tree hugger vs. farmer article I'm writing. I'm so pumped! I've had such a dry spell for so long I was beginning to think my writing had gone sour. The mag has an e-zine mirror site, so when it gets pub'd I'll let everyone know. -Kyle -----Original Message----- From: Bobby Greer [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, November 15, 1999 9:33 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Disability movies and putting braces Kyle, I totally forgot about Lt. Dan. That was a great portrayal of a courageous come back. I've liked Gary Sinese ever since. He was great as Harry Truman. I re-watched Private Ryan last night. Too bad all war movies aren't that graphic, there would be fewer wars. Bobby >I think we tend to forget that in "Forrest Gump" The individual that really >struggles with disability is Lieutenant Dan.
