Windsor Park Stories Says Thank You This Sunday evening we will broadcast our special Thanksgiving program: Gratitude. This year it will feature three people who have helped us to take the production of Windsor Park Stories and the Miracle at Placid Project to a new level: Mike Lewis, Carole Lynn Campbell and Greg O’Brien. We also will take this opportunity to provide our viewers with a glimpse of some of the things the will see in the Miracle at Placid episodes. Mike Lewis In January of this year Mike Lewis became a creative partner in the Miracle at Lake Placid Project. Kitch, Mike and I are friends and we have collaborated on a number of episodes of the series. This was different, because it would be the last project we would do as teachers at King’s. Moreover, it was the largest undertaking in the history of the series. Throughout every step of the project Mike was more than willing to help. This Sunday we say thank you to Mike in a very special way. We will premier the song he wrote for the Miracle Project, I Say Fly. It is a marvelous composition performed with heart and feeling by Gene Cotton. Carole Lynn Campbell Kitch and I never met Carole Lynn Campbell, but her music has become an essential part of our series. She saw our work with Greg O’Brien in the Windsor Park Theater, and she decided to provide some of her compositions for a number of episodes we produced this fall. In e-mails and one conversation with Carole, Kitch and I knew immediately that we shared common values, hopes and dreams. There is only one word to describe Carole’s music, and that word is magnificent. We are honored to have Carole as a member of the Windsor Park creative team and family. Our Thanksgiving episode affords us the opportunity to thank Carole by presenting two of her renditions in a very special way. It’s a segment we know you will enjoy. Greg O’Brien In February, on a bitter cold evening in Lake Placid, NY, we met Greg O’Brien, and our lives were changed forever. Not only did we become fast friends, we became creative partners. Greg shared our last weekend at King’s. He performed at the Irish Teachers Festival and he joined us in Shanksville. He performed at our annual screening there. If ever there was an anecdote that gives truth to the saying that when one door closes and another opens, it was our chance meeting with Greg O’Brien in Lake Placid. Kitch and I invite you to join us in the Windsor Park Theater for a program of gratitude. Before we close this note we would like to thank all those who were kind to us during this past year. May your Thanksgiving be blessed. You can be sure we will be thinking about you. Kitch and Tony Mussari
