It was just four months ago when we made the first public announcement<\/a> about our film project at the Lakeview Library back in November. Since then, much has happened. We\u2019re now well into planning for on-location filming during the week of May 18th<\/sup>. We\u2019re committing to filming without having reached the April 1st<\/sup> budget target we hoped for. We\u2019re doing so because of our strong belief in the importance of this story and faith that others will join us to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll begin filming on Monday morning in Eugene at the University of Oregon Archives where we\u2019ll film items from the Pearl Hall Collection, including some of the 48 letters written between Bernard Daly and Pearl Hall. Through these letters and Pearl Hall\u2019s notes that she wrote for a book she hoped to write about Daly, we know more about him. Though the book was never written, her notes and first-hand accounts of Daly were of great help to me in my research and writing. We also plan to interview a couple of Daly scholarship students at the University of Oregon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then we\u2019ll move to Corvallis where we\u2019ll interview Daly scholarship students at OSU and others connected to the scholarship. After a busy day and half in Corvallis, we\u2019ll drive to Lakeview for several days of filming interviews with high school students who have applied for the scholarship, scenes of Lakeview and the surrounding area, including ranch scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s exciting and I hope you\u2019ll join us in making it happen. For those of you who have been impacted by the scholarship, I hope you\u2019ll honor Dr. Daly by \u201cpaying it forward\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s what Dr. Daly did more than a century ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can help us bring this remarkable story to the big screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
