Hi All, I don't know how often Diane Quon gets on the 76 Forum, so I let her know on Facebook that we're all rooting for her. If any of you are on FB, that's another place to post your encouragement. John Simmers, thanks for pointing me to an article recently updated by Diane's undergrad alma mater, Ripon College - try this link to view it https://www.ripon.edu/2019/01/23/diane-moy-quon-79-earns-academy-award-nomination/

Hope I did that right. John will follow with a link to the documentary's trailer. You can also try searching for it yourself on YouTube, and the full documentary is screening on Hulu. I watched it a while back with a month free trial on Hulu that I no longer have the code for...sorry. Maybe those without Hulu can trying Googling for a free trial code? Anyway, Minding the Gap is awesome and I hope it wins for Diane and Bing and all those who were involved in its years in the making.

Greetings All! I know this is a bit after the fact, but I wanted to share to the group that the Museum of Fine Arts Houston acquired my video piece 366247•2012 for their permanent collection.

Here is a link to the MFAH site: https://www.mfah.org/exhibitions/kevin-o-mooney-366247-2012

We got you Kevin! The Lane Tech Alumni Association included news of the acquisition in the fall magazine for about 3,500 of your best friends to read about. One more reason to spend $20 on a membership y'all!

Happy Valentines Day from the Cole's to all my friends and the LLOL!

Everyone was posting Thanksgiving greetings. I wasn't able to because we spent the last two weeks of November in beautiful IRELAND! This snap was taken from the Bushmills distillery in Northern Ireland.

Finally, falconing on the grounds of Ashford Castle!

I'd love to bore you with a few hundred other pictures. I'll just say we avoided as much tourist stuff as possible. Went to Dublin, Bray, Dun Laoghire, Greystones, Bushmills, Sligo, Galway, and some other little towns. Lots of pubbing. Buy a round or two and the entire pub is your best friend!. Took in the authentic Irish music scene all over the country. Shopping, of course. Survived driving on the wrong side of the road, from the wrong side of the car. Survived an "Irish Traffic Jam." You know, when the sheep are crossing the road, there's just NOTHING to do but wait until they decide they want to move on! Roamed the grounds of old castles. Again, avoided as much touristy stuff as we could. Lots of Guinness, Irish whiskey and gin flowed. Brought home LOTS of it from the duty-free shop!

And, I can tell you there's two things the Irish want to talk to Americans about... Brexit and Donald Trump!

Bob ---

I think that - through the sharing of your Ireland-pics, you’ve unknowingly served to incite some jealousy in me.

I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland, but – frankly, the closest I’ve ever come is through my YouTube subscription to a channel showing Irish reaction-videos (the TRY Channel).

While a visit to Ireland has long been on my bucket-list – upon seeing the beautiful photos from your trip, I’m thinking to now at-least move that up a few notches - closer to the top.

All the Good.

Hey everybody! Diane Moy Quon's Oscar-nominated documentary "Minding the Gap", is airing tonight on WTTW, Channel 11. Go get the popcorn, and if you miss it, here are the other times they will be showing the film.

Yay! I'm glad there will be an opportunity for you all to see it without starting a Hulu trial subscription. The documentary is truly awesome. A couple more tidbits of info - Former President Obama includes it on his personal "best movies of 2018" list, and just over the weekend, Tony Hawk, well known extreme sports athlete whose foundation has funded a vast number of philanthropic activities involving underserved youth, wrote a guest review o "Minding The Gap" for The Hollywood Reporter.

There should be a copy of the film in the alumni office thanks to a LTHS alum Class of 75. He has been updating me about the buzz in LA. He did see film and put his vote in for many reasons but mainly because of the story of the documentary. I have kept our esteemed President (Michelle) in the know about the buzz. Congratuations to Diane.

28" snowfall at our new home town of Prescott, Az. last week. Looking forward to going down to Mesa for the Cub game on March 3rd.

So - for those of you that are heading south out of Chi-town for the first days of March - to Mesa for the LTAA Spring Training Trip, I'm not sure whether to call this a benefit of just-your-good-timing or just-your-good-luck (or both), but - for sure, good on you all!

Here is the WGN Chicago "record-late-season-cold" weather-forecast that's been tweeted out for those days that you'll be gone:
