Sundance Drive-by addendum
Sitting in the Salt Lake City airport waiting for our flight to Chi-town. Security was a wee bit harder here than in D.C., though neither time did I have to go through the backscatter X-ray machine. Such a relief. God had my guardian angel watching out for me.
One thing I forgot in my previous entry (I've added it as an ETA):
The best part of the party was chatting with Arlene Damron. Though you've probably never heard of her, her father made a very significant contribution to the record of American history. Her father shot the home movie footage that later became the movie Topaz, about the Japanese internment camps. You see, her family was moved to one such camp. One of the shots from the movie was a shot of her mother holding her. Arlene is a delightful woman and told me some of her parents' experiences at the time. She's a sweet, sweet woman, and I'm delighted I had the opportunity to meet her.
