august 31 2012 at 8 11 pm dear melissa your documentary about your father is so precious what a treasure you made for yourself and others blessings to you and your family gail van buren nordskog reply melissa pihos says september 10 2012 at 1 50 pm thank you so much i am so sorry to hear about your father dad respected him in so many ways i met him a few times what an awesome person they will be able to fly again together reply david globerman says october 28 2015 at 5 55 pm mellissa i just had a chance to see your documentary dead dad how touching and what a beautiful tribute to your father i live in canada but have always been a fan of the eagles of the late 1940 s with steve van buren and company i have done a lot of volunteer work up here in canada in ensuring that our elderly receive access to high quality health care unfortunately there is a lot of ageism in the system which is a barrier to that happening your merging of modern dance with the documentary is innovative and fascinating this is certainly a presentation that would lend in canada if you ever get a chance to visit i wish you well in all your work no doubt your father is very proud of you david globerman
