Where we Mourn:

‘The cemetery,’ wrote Thomas W. Laquer, ‘would not speak of a place but of people from all places … unknown to each other in life and thrown together in a place with which they might have had only the most transitory acquaintance’.

Gradual takeover of my life

Hit the ground running today, I had my interview with the RCMP media relations officer. He was a one take wonder. He was to the point as the force's position and that of his own. They are people too but too many times, I think that the hard ass image police portray works against them in the long run. They are people and need to be cut some slack.

The interview with the paramedics from BC Ambulance Service was deep as we explored all aspects of the project in a pre-interview chat. Chat? This was an hour long introspective but as fate would have it, the two paramedics had to leave on a call. I was not left high and dry as another paramedic agreed to give her take on roadside memorials.

I received an email from Terry Cook whom had been amassing a collection of photos of roadside memorials. He also pointed me to a few web sites for more information. I would like to thank him for his kindness and hope to correspond more with him.

I have checked with Vision TV for their rules on content and also have shopped the project to Shaw TV. The message that this documentary brings will see the light of day.
