Gerard Baldwin had the funniest response when I finally talked to him-"You're writing a book on that?

Then today I watched Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol on MeTV. It has been a long time since I saw it last.<br />Thanks for all the work you invested in writing the book. It is a phenomenal thing for you to have sought out and contacted so many players in the making of the film.Spence M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04112087153675850518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202740811135382485.post-2041589073178848582011-12-23T16:40:58.113-08:002011-12-23T16:40:58.113-08:00Anything is possible!

I'd also like to make a suggestion for Mr. Citters; have CBS broadcast Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol next year for it's 50th anniversary. Can it be done?Anthony D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202740811135382485.post-76712562640032588122011-12-19T08:25:08.434-08:002011-12-19T08:25:08.434-08:00Darrell:
