Interview of Former Chief Justice Kathleen Blatz

On October 13, 2011 John and I interviewed former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice, Kathleen Blatz. Justice Blatz was the first woman to serve as chief justice on the Court. It was a wonderful interview and added many interesting facts and details which will be very helpful in completing our film.  Thanks to Justice Blatz for giving us the time and being such a great interview subject!

Final Legacy Grant Application!!

On Friday, November 18th we filed the final application for a Legacy grant in the history category. Brent Peterson and the Washington County Historical Society were so helpful in facilitating and coordinating the grant application and many people at the History Center were invaluable with advice and assistance.

Now we must keep our fingers crossed that our documentary will be recognized and rewarded with funds to cover our post production costs.

As part of our application we received several wonderful letters of recommendation from Professor Sally Kenney, Professor Debra Fitzpatrick and Professor Annette Atkins.

I am attaching a copy of Professor Atkins recommendation letter to show the kind of praise our film is receiving.
