A local journalist who was researching a piece about Branson found this Website and read some of my posts about Branson in the "old days." He contacted me and we met for about an hour and a half this morning at my home. He asked me questions about the diving bell, the old Hee Haw Theater, and the growth of tourism in the Branson area. I pulled out some of my collection of brochures, guidebooks, and books and magazines about Branson, and talked at length about all things Branson related. He was very enthusiastic, and came by to see me prior to a trip he was making to Branson to do additional research and to conduct some interviews. A buddy of his also currently is doing some work with my old boss from Hee Haw Theater, and my old boss recommended that the journalist speak with me. So I was glad to help him out, flattered, actually. When his story appears he has promised to send me a copy. When he does, I'll have to share it with everyone here. I'm looking forward to reading the story myself!
