Hi Marc!


Got my Disc the other day, Saturday but it arrived on Friday in case you were wondering (My PO Box) The disc played in my SAMPO DVD player, I havent tried it in my SONY yet and I also have an old Pioner DVD/Laser unit but I haven't had a chance to hook that up yet.

The disc froze a couple of times, these were not the freezes when you cut to a movie or TV clip, but overall played well. Antonia's voice sounded good, sometimes when she spoke quickly I lost what she was saying but mostly I understood everything. I did have trouble hearing you Marc but I got what you were saying most of the time. Was that your wife going up to you to get you to speak into the mic? I thought that was pretty funny!

I really enjoyed seeing you sitting there interviewing her, after all the years of mailing lists, web sites, fanzine work etc that you've done. I real pleasure to see someone who has such a pure love for the show have the opportunity to talk....sort of one on one....with one of the series stars.

I am halfway through the disc, I had to stop last night to watch Big Brother 5 (I admit it....I'm addicted and I'm pissed Karen got voted out....but I digress).

I really liked watching the various movie clips, especially watching her dance. I was impressed, she really dances well. (That was the clip with Vladek.) I also REALLY enjoyed the striptease. I thought, this is the early 1970's how good could this clip be and WOW! I think I have to buy Percy now!

Also the clips of all the TV and movies were crystal clear. Beautiful. Very nice to see the young Antonia and then to todays Antonia.

So far so good, I appreciate getting this, it really brightened my day as we had some stressful construction going on at home that morning, plus my kids were really off (Nasal spray it seems) and it was September 11th. Once things calmed down it was a good way to relax and enjoy Antonia. I'm surprised she hasn't done more conventions, she seems very relaxed and at ease in front of the crowd and speaks well of the show and has nice long answers to questions.

Let's get her out to the East Coast! : - )

Again, Many Thanks Marc, your efforts are appreciated and I owe you. Next time (Once I get my video camera fixed) you need to transfer video (8mm) maybe I could help and burn it onto a disc for you. You shouldn't have had to rent a camera for this. My camera broke during the worldcon but I hope to have it up and running by October when I'm off to another convention.


I'll write more when I see the rest of the disc.

Oh, I almost forgot, my wife who knows about this stuff because she's married to me, was in the kitchen listening to interview and ended up watching it with me because she enjoyed Antonia so much. (We have a small TV in the kitchen slaved to TV in the Den) She watched part of it in the kitchen and really got a kick out of the movie clips. We both agreed it was a real treat to see her in other roles and she loved the dancing and the strip tease scene too. She thought the premise of Percy sort of interesting. ; - )
