Summary: Uncle Ray
Review: Being a Grand Nephew of ray and never actually getting to meet him, (he passed away before I was born) it was great to read about the stories that were told at the dinner table by my father and his brothers. It seems that the VanNeste family loves to talk about the old days. My Grand Mother was Ray's sister Gunhild(Gunny).
When I was a child Aunt Ackey use to go through her old photo's of ray and tell us the stories.
Ackey recentley passed away earlier this year in her 90's and every one should know what a pistol she was. Thank you Russ and Bev for the wonderful job. Jim

Summary: Daredevil Cameraman
Review: Daredevil Cameraman was an entertaining and enjoyable book to read. Swede was a pioneer in the movie business and spent his life chasing the best stories and ways to shoot them. From the decks of a luxury liner to the wings of a stunt plane, Swede set the standards for future cineography. I enjoyed reading the book both for the historical value and the insight into the life of a pioneer.
