Re: Old Films

Tom,

Good to hear from you.   Randy Tate (Randall.Tate@xxxxxxxxx) coordinated 
with the guy at Torq-O (sp?) Productions to produce the Texas Takeover DVD. 
This guy has done similar restoration and transfer work with other old 
productions.  You might want to contact him to have DVDs made and put me 
high on the list of buyers when the materials are ready.
