i attended the memorial service. jim pierson spoke as well as kls. kls talked about the 1st and last time she saw dc. the last time being shortly b4 he died and he couldnt talk but looked thru photos from the book,PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY DAN CURTIS with her and held his hand. other speakers included abc exec BRANDON STODDARD and writer RICHARD MATHESON and actor DEAN JONES. other DS allum in attendance were LARA PARKER, DAVID SELBY, CHRIS PENNOCK and BARBARA STEELE but they did not speak. a video tribute was shown compiled by tracy curtis.  the tribute included short clips from the original ds and other dc produced films including winds of war. lots of behind the scenes photos from w.o.w. and behind the scenes footage of dc marching and singing with the actors that were playing soldiers. they also showed the emmy award segment when dc won and barbara steele was standing next to him. everyone received a FREE copy of the book, PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY DAN CURTIS.

Thank you for telling us about it, Joe!  It sounds like it was a lovely event.  I hope it was well attended.

They gave out copies of the book?  That is so cool.

I've been out of the loop for DS since early February, except for quickly checking the board when I heard Dan Curtis had died.  This is the first I've heard of the book "Produced and Directed by Dan Curtis."  Is this from KLS's Pomegranate Press?

Thanks for sharing news of the memorial, and KLS's words.  Very moving.
