Our new DVD on Simon Kenton is soon to be released. We've finished the filming at the historic Acord Cabin in Bethel, Ohio. Now we wait for all the cutting, etc by my friend, producer & director, Muggs Jones of 'That's Just Muggs Productions.' http://www.douglaswjonesjr.com/kww.html

What's your typical audience for these DVD's? Kids in school, people who visit the sites you feature? Just curious!
And will you be appearing in the "comedy film about reenacting"? (Is it just me or does that description make it sound like something along the lines of a Trekkie documentary?  ) |

As far as Mugg's comedy, I've seen some of it. If you've been in reenacting as long as Muggs & myself, over 30 years each, you'd know that sometimes the rules really get carried away! Muggs turns this into a hilirious comedy which shouldn't be offensive to anyone. Muggs has always had a great sense of humor, never knowing what he might say at any given time, and him having close to a genius IQ really sets me on alert at times.  As far as our DVDs, we've tried to tell the life stories of two great frontiersmen (Boone & Kenton) which not much as really been written about. We feel that the use of first person portrayals is a wonderful tool in bringing history alive for young and old alike. We have performed at Fort Boonesborough, the Blue Licks Battlefield State Park, Constitution Square State Park in Danville, Ky., the Long Run Massacre reenactment by the Painted Stone Settlers in Shelbyville, Ky., Mansker’s Station in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, the Spirit of Vincennes Rendezvous in Vincennes, In., the Fair at New Boston at George Rogers Clark Park in Springfield, Ohio for the GRCHA, at the Heritage Center of Clark County in Springfield, Ohio, and also at numerous schools, libraries, genealogical societies, historical societies, and museums across the Country.

If it's anything like your performance at Grassy Run it will be good! Can't wait to see it!
Can you "John Hancock" a copy for me? |

| it's not really a great thing for us, but for kenton i hope. when we picked Simon & Squire to portray, we were trying to pick someone who did more than most folks realize, and yet very little was ever known about them. we're trying to bring some notariety to these men and to try and spark that interest in history again. i really think that's what every reenactor is trying to do, bring history alive to people who see us, and teach how it was for our ancestors, not that long ago. thanks again 'Light', and you know we're going to try and get you and your family to join our ranks (LOL). |

You just make me think of someone who likes war-paint 
Just kidding 'Light', actually I thought you were a very sweet
lady who likes history & such. That's a good combo in my book. |

Sorry to be so long in getting back to you, been a busy couple months. 1st in appearances,then in life (LOL). We've had a time of it lately. First I was told I've probably got a heart blockage by the VA Doc. Then the next day we lost our brakes in the fast lane on 275 doing about 70 mph when the guys in front decided to hit brakes because they were tailgating each other. I just was barely able to miss them and pull into the medium and get it stopped about 50 feet from a bridge. Both of us were sweating profusely by then. Then 2 days after that my lawn tractor flipped over onto me, landing on my chest, but I feel OK, I think? Scheduled for a stress test this next Monday & a echogram in Oct., so hopefully we'll know something definite by then. Just been a BAD month so far you might say (LOL). But we're still kicking, can't complain about that I think? Starting to feel like I really ticked somebody off (LOL).

Thanks all for the good wishes.
Fitzhugh,
I doubt it, it's been a busy year with the presentations, and at this point, I think Nancy would take my scalp if I told her we're heading for the Powell Valley  . Have you heard any more about Billy's wife?
Obediah,
LOL, yep, it's hard to put us old geezers under, ain't it? No matter what 'Light' says  
Blackfootblood,
Love your signature, "Live well, love much, laugh often" true, but you forgot one thing for us old geezers, "talk much" I already do the others you have listed, but my dear wife who keeps me humbled says I talk way too much!!!!
Richfed,
Thank you so very much for the kind thoughts sir. I'd love to meet you on the trail someday, we'd have a good scout, I'm sure. |
