Fine job. Congratulations on your effort and on picking a brilliant film. John Ford and the photography both won Oscars and it is a great film with a memorable bunch of actors, winning dialogue a great story, a storybook ending and a terrific musical score.

I can just see John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara up on the big screen while reading these few words. This looks like a contender for the contest.

Hi M. I see that you are extending your horizons and conquering another branch of your craft. Met a man who met JW when they made the quiet man, so I have a few stories. Once again, go to the top of the class and give out the pencils. (this was the height of honour when I was at school) Great. Eamon
