Utah schedule - June 2008

I have had a slight change of plans for my Utah visit to continue my research for the movie. Kip Cullimore (Cory's nephew in Denver) delayed his trip to Heber, so I delayed mine. I'm anxious to meet with him at his old family home in Charleston and see what we can find among his mother Eunice's (Cory's sister) effects that my be helpful.

I drive up Monday, June 2, stopping in Nephi to meet with Bars Jenkins (friend of my mother) and Terry, Bars's friend, who know where the Little Eva mine is. That's where Cory had his accident. There's still too much snow to get all the way up, but we will go as far as we can, possibly by horseback, though we may delay that ambitious trek to the summer. But I want to scout shooting locations for the fall, when we must capture the beauty and majesty of those mountains Cory loved so much.

I will also have a rather ambitious recording and editing schedule with my director for the audio version of Cory's book. ” In one of those fortuitous, double edged tragedies, I lost all the recording I did the last trip (about half the book) due to a hard drive failure, and I have to re-do it. But it’s like the 116 pages, I will just replace it with a new and probably better version.

I will start Tuesday, June 3 and finish by Monday, June 9. I plan to have an "unveiling" of the book before two groups of people Monday or Tuesday, June 9 or 10. If I can work it out, I'll have one in Salt Lake and One in Heber. I want to preview it before these "Focus Groups" to see what tweaking I might want to do. If you want to be part of one of those groups, let me know.

I also surfaced an audio tape of Eunice talking about Cory that I’m anxious to get a copy of. I will do that during my June visit to Heber as well.
