A letter to the editor

Hi guys, its Stu (director) here:

I was doing my weekly search for articles on the web and found this letter to the editor in response to a recent story on us from Arkansas. It really brings up an interesting point. Thank-you Billy Glover whoever you are! This helps us get the word out.

Bob and Jack

The article you did June 21 on Bob and Jack, who’ve lived together 52 years and counting and a documentary about them shown at the Arkansas LGBTQ Film Festival is very good. The two men met in the army in Word War II and stayed together, living in Raymond, Wash., running a radio station, and then moved to Los Angeles in 1980 and live there in retirement today.

If they could do this then, everyone should be able to do it today. I would like to have known what “resources” they had, what books they read, how they were “prepared” to find each other and stick together, when so many others didn’t, for whatever reasons. I wonder if young men and women in the military in Iraq and Afghanistan today will have a similar experience.

I think the people involved in making the documentary and the people in Little Rock that did the festival deserve thanks.
