To do what Mr Fratello wants would require a club to be set up like a
public library to inventory the videos and then have a method and someone
to take responsibility to check out the videos and then check them back in
as well as a way to go after someone who checked out the video and did not
return it.
I don't see any way OCMR could get involved in anything like this.

OCMR MEMBERS:
Yesterday Bill Hess sent me the email below.
Mr. Fratello wishes to donate to some SC railroad club,
his collection of 67 Alllen Keller movies,
each featuring one exquisite model railroad.

He wants them to go to a club that will share with the public.
I can think of none better than OCMR.
We have a broader public outreach than any club I know.
However, we need to get into his contest.

*First question, do you know him and how?*
*Second question, are you a subscriber to Chaparro's Model Railroads of
SC?*

Please respond to me today if possible.
I need to wordsmith some appealing reasons for him to gift these videos to
OCMR.
Read Thomas' email below and let me know your thoughts.
Thank you,
Harry
    Thanks to Bill Hess for bringing this opportunity to OCMR.
    I'll call your cell this afternoon to discuss.

A poll has been updated:

Are you a Southern California Club that has a layout and intends to resume
public events at some point?  If so, I have an offer for you and your
members.  I have a complete set of Allen Keller's Great Model Railroads
Videos and DVD's.  There are 67 items in the offer from #1 to #67.  I will
donate them all to any Southern California MRR club on the active list for
the moderator of Groups I/O.  This list is:
http://gourps.yahoo.com/group/Model_Railorads_Of_Southern_California/
<http://gourps.yahoo.com/group/Model>*. *The only requirement is that the
club provide the VCR or DVD and viewing screen for display of the items.
It is the club's responsibility to determine any legal requirements for
public exhibition of the items.  They are copyrighted items legitimately
purchased for the Great Model Railroads Web Site when it was in operation.
