I apologize to everyone who is having problems purchasing a copy, and in fact, I just sent a letter to the company telling them about your frustrations. At least half the people making purchases yesterday, wrote to me and were ready to pull out their hair.
When I went in last night to purchase 50 copies, I spent FIVE MINUTES going around in circles between the shipping and billing screens, until I finally hit the NEW PROFILE button, or whatever the hell it was called. THAT actually took me to the screen where I typed in my credit card info. I've never encountered anything like this. I'm a computer consultant and if it was frustrating for me....
I hope this will be modified in the near future, for several of you got so mad you gave up and wrote to me to ask if I could send a copy to your home. Of course I will do this, but the idea of having it for sale via a company, is supposed to take all this off my hands, not make more work for me.
Well, will wait and see how they respond. Sigh!
I am a patient man, young LADY !!! I know you won't forget this OLD dogface !! gottagogetsomepecans!!!

Hi M1,
I'm sorry to see that after all your hard work during production, you now have the added problem of sorting the supply of the DVD. Yes I had difficulty yesterday but I have infinite patience and will wait as long as it takes to obtain my copy of Pt1!

Ah, patience seems to be the word of the day... ![]()

The DVD now appears on Amazon.com, so this may work out better for our overseas friends, or those who are experiencing difficulties.
If our US friends are going to purchase, I would still prefer they still use my E-STORE link, for Amazon.com takes a much greater percentage/cut, out of my proceeds. But if any of you are having problems with the E-Store purchase, please try this avenue.

One of the Vets in the program said "I don't want to fight the Japs," after hearing about the heat, insects and other conditions in the PTO. I think whatever part of the USA you grew up in also had a great influence on where each man volunteered to fight in WWII. His comment reminded me of my own Father telling me that most of the guys he knew (in Seattle) wanted to fight the Japs rather than Germany and many of his relatives and buddies joined the Navy or the USMC after Pearl Harbor was attacked.
I am going to watch M1's fine documentary again tonight, as I'm sure I will find things I missed the first viewing.

I had a couple of initial copies in the store, and one of our liquor delivery guys just bought a copy. It was the FIRST one I SOLD in person. As Dennis and I were laughing, it was an historic moment. It was the first one I signed. WHOOO-HOOOOO!!!
He and I have been talking about it for many moons, and shared an early, incomplete version with him several months ago. His neighbor is a WWII vet, and I was pleased to let him watch it.
Thanks Dennis!!!

Looks like "the boys" will be airing in the New Jersey area soon, thanks to my friend Ed Pittarelli, Dean, Program Development, Learning Technologies, and Process Improvement - Bergen Community College. Spoke with Ed and his colleague Brian, this morning at 10 AM, and I will be sending Ed a copy of documentary this weekend.
I am SO excited about the prospects, and Ed assured me it would be seen my many, since they have a viewership of approximately 100,100 people. Heck, I'd be happy if 1000 people saw it!
Thank you Ed, thank you Brian. I know "my boys" are going to be so thrilled!

Will start mailing out DVD's to those on my requested list today. Am going to be a very busy gal, as this should take a few hours to package and record all the names in my database.

Got my copy the other day and have the opportunity to watch all but the last 15 minutes (kids and wife came home from the store and haven't had time since!) Looks great Marion; looking forward to future installments (as well as just finishing the one I have!!)

Yeah, glad your copy arrived safe and sound. And even more glad you enjoyed it. Will look forward to your comments after you finish the last fifteen minutes.
Thanks for your input.
Hugs,

Just a heads up...
Unless you are a WWII veteran, I would truly appreciate having everyone order directly via the E-Store or Amazon.com.
Today I spent hours (and am still not done yet), creating a database of names and addreses, buying envelopes and stuffing and labeling them. then tomorrow I have to take them to the post office for shipping.
I don't mind doing this for the vets, but more and more people are requesting that I personally mail one to them. It's really a LOT of work for me, and very time consuming, plus I have to pay to ship them to me and once again to ship them to you. One of the reasons I had a company take over publication, was to completely take this out of my hands - make it simple!
Thanks for your understanding. If anyone wants it autographed, I suggest you send it to me at a later date, and I will be happy to oblige.
Much love,
M1
