Dear Friends,
I want to offer a big, late THANK YOU to Morehead State University in Kentucky. THE FALL OF ‘55 showed there in October, and I represented the film for an introductory speech and Q&A session afterward. In my introduction, I talked about a newly rediscovered crackdown on female impersonators in Lexington, Kentucky in 1960. That’s discussed in another blog posting.
We had a great question and answer session after the film. The audience was eager to know more about Boise and the factors that contributed to the so-called “boys of Boise” scandal.
In particular, I want to thank Mike Esposito at Morehead State University, an old friend of the film. He helped coordinate our visit, and served as a terrific tour guide around Kentucky. He also discovered the story about the female impersonator crackdown.
Thanks to Toni Hobbs, who designed great promotional materials, as well as members of the Allyance group.
I appreciate the great Kentucky hospitality!
Talk soon,
Seth
