Update:
1.25.05 Last night I rented the DVD and watched all of
the commentary. Especially helpful was a feature:
Heaven Help Us: a short documentary of the
thought and hope that went into their project. I admire
Brian Dannelly as a conscientious artist. Much of what I
know about him was gleaned from the actors' interviews I
read months ago. They spoke of the Director requiring them
to attend a number of 'real' youth rallies, conferences,
etc. to get jiggy with the whole 'christian youth culture.'
Last year,
when this movie about high school
culture was released,
I sent an
email
to
the
Co-Writer
and
Director,
Brian Dannelly.
Below
is a copy of the letter that I wrote to Brian. I was
thrilled that this busy filmmaker took the time
to respond to my note.
The 21st
Century is
an Open Door of
Opportunity that allows us to cross many ancient boundaries.
Limited
imaginations are a hindrance for those who hope to walk
through
the Door the Lord
has opened. In my letter I tried to show Brian that I
appreciate his God-given imagination as he uses the tools
of his millennial generation.

Hi Brian:
My wife, son, and I viewed
your film SAVED! for the first time yesterday. I had
seen Mandy Moore on Letterman talk about 'controversy'
with the story...so decided to go see it.
Our immediate reflection and
discussion led me to the assertion that you must hold to
a different worldview than me.
I got your email address
from a blog...from a google search. I would be
interested in reading anything that you feel rightly
represents your developing theology. Perhaps I'll hunt
around on the web for sites that mention your past
productions....however, a link to a few good sites would
be most appreciated.
Myself: the pastor of a
small baptist church in northern california (with a
deepening faith as well).
I became a Christian at age
26...twenty years ago....having lived as an agnostic
with very little restraint and did not take Christians
seriously. Personal crisis led to my faith in the Christ
of the Bible as ever-present and interested in my
thoughts and my heart.
Thank you for taking the
time to 'talk to strangers.'
Sincerely,
Rob Patterson
Brian wrote back (below); my computer later crashed and I
had lost my email records so I never wrote him again.
Recently,
d.c.tom forwarded the copy I had sent him (I
was so excited to have received a response from Brian). If any
of you should decide to write to
Brian, please be
courteous.
I suggest that you rent the DVD and watch the film carefully before
offering your feedback. Here is Brian's long-lost letter:

hello,
Well, it's true, we may hold different
world views...but, I think we're looking for the same thing.
One of the very best things to come out of this experience
is that I've received so many
kind emails from evangelical Christians and it's actually
made me want to explore my relationship with JC more than
ever.
In spite of all the controversy, it's been a very moving experience for
me.
Thank you so much for writing to me. I would love to
talk to you more.
Please feel free to write.
A quick note, I've just returned from two weeks worth
of film festival madness and am very tired and am trying to
answer over 700 emails...but, yours stood out and I wanted
to get back to [you]right away.

A note to my fellow CHS grad:
January 15, 2005
Hi Carol:
If you'll notice on our website, we have a new page called CHS Follies:
2 columns: Class of 1975.....THEN
and Class of
Y2K5.....NOW
In this left column, after I locate
the student film I shot (Super 8 circa. Spring 1975), I will
feature short mpeg videos. Our task then will be to CLICK
and IDENTIFY who those kids were (and 'what were they
thinking').
The film, CHS Follies, was cinema
verite'(before I knew what that was) set in the middle of
CHS hallways as the dismissal bell rings. 1975-era young
people dressed in authentic period pieces came rushing out
of classrooms; go back in your long-term memory and relive
the excitement of 2-way pedestrian traffic, the unique
individuals, the teachers, the couples, the friends (duets,
trios, even quads), the loner weaving through those who
aren't moving as fast.
Featuring kids from the classes of 1975,1976, and 1977. My
brother, Mike, was in the class
of '77. There's a good chance that he's seen
walking down the
hall to his next class....good chance that you're in
it...your friends...who knows?
My Dad, who still lives in Coldwater, is friends with
Randy Hazelbaker; I
remember really liking that kid back in the day. I think I
remember correctly that he helped
me win 1st Place Student of the Year for
D.E.C.A.
Randy helped by shooting
photographs, and using the Careers Center darkroom so I
could create a portfolia of my legitimate
ventures; I've heard that Randy is now the resident
historian for Coldwater, right? He once featured my
Dad on a Cable Access program. Whatever his current skills
and interests, he fits the demographic
for this year's strangest web-based reality show:
CHS Follies.
Could somebody call him, simply explain some of this conceptual
brainstorming, send him an email link to this page?
I haven't mentioned any of this Reality Show to
Greg Brayton (Class of 73)
yet.....but my son, Jerry, is now attending his church and
went to Sunday School with him last week. I think Greg
will be on board to help with production.

Greetings from the very cold state of Michigan. Nancy told me
earlier this week that Jerry has moved here. What an
adventure for all of you!
She and I have been working together on a Renaissance Festival,
and she told
me last night (at the festival) that I should check out your
web page.
So, that's what I have been doing for last 30 minutes. You have a
lot of info
there! Of course, I was especially interested in your family
info and
Jerry's journey to join us here in this great state!
I am looking forward to CHS Follies:
I think! Thirty years. It's hard to
believe, isn't it? We certainly are a lot younger than
people in their late 40's were back in the 1970's, don't you
think!?By the way, I still have my copy of the Senior Mirror
poll and you forgot to admit that you were also voted 2nd
place "Class Clown" (right behind Rich Fraley and tied with
Steve Neesley). Just thought I'd refresh your memory!
I saw Jerry last night at the Renaissance
Festival. He was hanging with my niece,
Lauren (big surprise!) He is looking healthy, content,
and comfortable!
It's nice that he has Nancy and her family, and I'm sure that he's
comfortable with Lauren's parents, but just for the record,
if he ever needs anything, the Ogles would also help him in
a heartbeat. Let him know that for us, okay? I have a
son, Sam, who is a senior this year and
knows Richelle (2006)
and Sarah (2007) very
well. They are in the Balladiers together.
So hopefully he and Jerry's paths will cross and they can get to
know each
other. Sam is a
really laid back kid, very kind, and also a drummer,
so it sounds like they may have some common ground.
Anyway, I realize this
was a huge decision for you and Cathy, so let us know if
there's anything we
can do.
Well, just wanted to drop you a line. We will add you all to
our prayer list.
I look forward to getting back on your web page when I have
more time.
Until then,

Jordan leaves Coldwater for the Detroit Airport
tomorrow at 3:00 AM .
He was allowed to attend
C.H.S. for the entire school day today.
More about his trip to the Winter, Water Wonderland
in upcoming correspondence.
Greg Brayton recorded Jordan for a
StudioTime
promo--featuring Jordan's signature scream. We'll
upload the MP3 when it is finished. Greg gave me a
tape of 2 songs that he's gonna have me lay down
drum tracks on later this week.

Hi Mom, Dad and Family,
How are you all? I am not going to be able to use the
Internet as freely as I had before, because Mikey's
computer is giving him problems. Its kind of funny
though, cuz Hotmail finally started working on his
computer, and then it crashes.
How is the church and youth group going? I know that Gina and
Tyler were leaving, and I didn’t know really what was
going on with that. I'm looking forward to a SUPER
weekend coming up. We have Friday and Monday off, so it
will work out very nicely since Jordan is going to be
here.
Dad, can you send me some lunch/misc. money? I have run out of
funds, because of the jackets and gloves, and my
lunches. If you could, could you get a hold of Jordan
and send it with him? Also, can you pray about safe
traveling weather? We expect to get 6 ‘’ of snow 2night
and I hope it cools down before Thursday.
Uncle Mike is doing good, and so is Mikey. I've been running lots
of errands for uncle Mike (and have been trying to hang
out with Mikey as much as possible). I got sick over the
weekend, so that was kinda boring. I'm getting over it
though. I came straight home from school and slept till
about 9 last night, so I'm staying well rested.
My Valentines Day went great. I had made a card for Lauren,
and it turned out a lot better than I could have
planned. I just feel like God was really working stuff
out for me on Sunday. Before I had gone to church I
noticed that I had very little money, and that I wanted
to make it stretch. Mom had sent me $50 for clothes, but
I had used it on lunch, and toiletries. I still had to
save money to help pay for gas money for grandma and
Mikey to pick up and drop off Jordan from the airport.
All this running through my head, I realized that I
hadn’t tithed on the money. I knew it would tie me even
tighter than I was to tithe the $5, but I remembered
that God will always work things out for you if your
faithful. So, I tithed the money. After that it seemed
like everything worked out for me.
I was right in time to pick up a
rose from the florist
(3 minutes before they closed), and when I went to buy a
stuffed animal, it turned out being way cheaper than I
had budgeted. So, I just really realized the good in
having faith in God.
SO yes, Valentine's Day
went great, and now...
Me and Lauren are an “item.”
We made it official yesterday.
Well, I'm sending this email in computer class, so I better
get back to my work. I just wanted to send u an email to
let u know the latest news.
I love and miss you all.
Love,
Jerry

Hey:
Sorry it took so long to write back but I've
been busy. Uncle Mike didn't get caught driving, he just
went in for an evaluation, and they made it final. I didn't
end up really going shopping, cuz I ran out of lunch money,
so I just am spending it there.
What's the latest news on dad? How is he doing?Jordan is set to fly
down here this Thursday and leave on Tuesday. I'm pretty
excited
Aunt Nancy is gonna send you a graduation gown order form
so u can order what u want.
Well I g2g, I'm not supposed to be on at the school. Tell
Mary, Daniel, and family that I love and miss them.

Hey mom,
That's not good to hear that you're sick. I am too, but I drink a
lot of water and sleep, and its goin away.
We won our volleyball game on Saturday, and I helped with a church
fundraiser on Sunday. My number here is 517-278-6569.
I got the package and letter 2day. It was A GREAT SURPRISE,
especially the muffins. I hope you get better and can go to
school n work soon. Uncle Mike got his license stamped and
if he gets caught driving then he gets a 500$ fine and up to
90 days in jail, so pray for him and that he'll be happy.
Jordan's comin out to see me on my winter break thing on the
17th, so that is something for me to look forward to.
Well, I g2g.

Hi Mom, Alright, I'll make sure
to keep my eye open for the check. Thank you so
much! That's kinda funny about Joe's unknown
expenses with his dorm room; it sounds scary.
Mikey had sumtin kinda like that. He couldn't go to school cuz he
hadn't made a deposit , so he's out for the
semester. I am trying to use my turbo cleaning
skills for uncle mikes benefit, but its hard.
I always try n take care of the dishes. Well I g2g to Volleyball

Hi Mom,
Hmm a good time to call me is usually on weekdays at around 4 on.
On Wednesdays I go to Youth Group, but other than
that I'm always home.
Hmm,....this weekend I
might be home, probably not at night, but
on Saturday during the day I'm sure I'll be at
home. Valentines Day...I
think we have a dance, but as I remember Lauren
doesn't like dances, and I don't know if they're
"cool" here. If they are cool I so wanna go, cuz I
miss dances. I don't know what I'm gettin her for
Valentines; I don't have too much money left in my
lunch account, and her bday is comin up on the 23rd.
I'm not
used to serious relationships with girls,
so its all weird now, and I wanna kill any guy she
even looks at, so I'm workin on that. Aunt Nancy is
finding the date of graduation out. I got a slip to
order my cap n gown today. Yeah, I'd like to go to
SWC, but I'd want others to go to, like if u could
talk Daniel into it. That's good to hear that Dad's
doin good, and that he got there safely. Do u know
if its a better situation than Liberia?
Well, school is comin along good. I'm doin my best in all my
classes, and I think it will show in my grades, but
since I just sit at home all day then I end up doing
all my homework. I kinda look forward to fast paced
Cali life. Here everything is slow, but they make up
for it in Drama. There's a lot of drama here, which
I don't like, but I can't really change it. Well, I
g2g.

Hi Mom, Sorry its taken me so long
to write back. I haven't got to check my mail in a
while, cuz the library was closed. I don't know the
exact date for graduation yet, but I think its end of
May. I'll look into it.
Lately I've
been getting really homesick. I hope at least
Dad gets to come here later to record or sumtin, so I'll
see something from home. I talked to Jordan and his mom
said she'd buy him a ticket here whenever he wanted to
come. That would put a smile on my face, but I have to
find him a place to stay and a ride from the airport so
I'm gonna start workin on that.
Yesterday was the church ping-pong match.
Me n my partner Ashley got 3rd. It was weird cuz all the
adults were really competitive. I really like these 2
youth groups I'm in though. I'm not hangin out with guys
too much now; its just mainly girls, but they're just as
interesting as guys I guess.
So how are you doing without Dad? I miss our shopping trips and
house projects we have always had when Dad's been gone.
I try n clean up around Uncle Mike's, but its hard, cuz
I don't know what goes where and all that.
So far school is going good and on
progress reports I had all A's. I like all my
teachers, but Ms. Kiss is a Democrat, and I don't like
it, but I'm gonna keep quiet, cuz I can tell there's
some Bush supporters in that class.
Well I g2g, the librarian is givin me the look. Let me know when u
send out the money, so I can be on the look out for it.
Tell all the kids that I miss them, and I miss you. I
love you all.

(UncleRob™

Hi Dad:
I know that you're
leaving for Africa tomorrow and just wanted to
talk with you one last time.
School?
Yeah, its going great! I could possibly get all As this
last semester.
After school I go back to
Uncle Mike's house and do my homework; I spent 3 hours
on my collage, put blue construction paper behind the
pictures; I drew an outline of the state of California.
I think I made a good presentation in Ms.Kaschalk's
class. I actually like doing the homework here. Well,
not having a band or guy friends helps!
There's another student here from California. Esther was born in
the OC and has comes back and forth to Michigan through
the years.
I went out with Lauren
parent's and grandparents last night. I'm also really
getting involved in the youth groups here. My church's
youth group is small but good. Then, I also go to the
Free Methodist Church for their youth group. There's a
Youth Leader named Chris that I really like!
Allison
invited to be on their volleyball team; we won;
Tomorrow
I will partner with Ashley for a ping-pong tournament;
she's best friends with Allison; I met them by having
lunch with Megan; The seniors all eat lunch together so
I sit with these friends and 2 other quieter girls
andone guy: a boyfriend; The are a lotta guys at the
Free Methodist Church; Chris calls me Dane (I remind him
of a guy he knows named Dane; Chris is always cracking
jokes; I feel comfortable there; Chris also comes and eats
lunch with us at the High School on Fridays.
We play a game in the Youth Group called "Trainwreck" (for
example someone calls off "Rows 1-7 switch; 2-3
switch,...then they yell "Trainwreck!" and everyone switches
with one person left standing ;its
similar to one we played in California called "Fruit
Basket Upset").
The Free Methodist Chruch also has a Youth Band; they're good; I totally compliment
everyone and am not pushing myself here as a drummer.
Someday, I'll probably be asked to fill in for a band somewhere...

Hello Mom, Dad
and Family Members,
How are all y'all?<----my
new accent!
I'm doing
pretty good. I had my 1st Friday at the School. It
wasn't the best, but it worked out.
My Creative Writing class was a
lot more work than a [Galt] English class would ever be;
it demanded that we sit at home for 30 minutes every
night and just think stuff up. I don't really enjoy
being forced to be creative, so I got out of it.
I made the switch to Speech Class,
which was good cuz the people are more like me. I have
to write an Outline about my life, and make a collage,
which won't be too hard. It will also make me a better
public speaker.
More good news: my Foods
teacher goes to my church. It was quite funny on the
first day she asked if I had gone to church on Sunday
with Sally Brayton.
I said, "yeah," and she laughed cuz she thought maybe I
was one of her kids. haha.
Mom, I was wondering if you
wanted
to send me money to buy some clothes. You had mentioned
how I should talk to you about it after I had been here
a couple of weeks, and I had seen what people wear here.
I've been here a while and I think I'm gettin' a grasp
on Michigan style (its almost like cali, but more
bundled up).
Well, I must be going now, my 30 online minutes are up here at the
library. Write back.

Everything's good. I went to the Methodist

funny to hear everyone 'interpreting' the film for
Greg:
"Greg, now the
goat is eating
the dynamite..."

Subject: First day of school
Well, the day finally arrived--Jerry's
first day at CHS. It was
heartwarming to see the three cousins walking
toward the front doors at approximately 7:55 a.m. in
a frigid -2 degrees. Jerry is learning
that winter means not only snow, but COLD
temperatures.
Jerry has been forewarned about
school lunches at CHS--there are some good things,
like the salad bar, but the good things have the
very long lines,and then you end up with no time to
eat. So we suggested that
Jerry might want to
pack a lunch, and he agreed (although this morning
when I asked where his lunch was, he said he had
money to buy...maybe a case of not getting the
lunch packed?)
I'll keep you posted (and I'm sure he will, too) as to how his
first day went...I am picking them all up at 4 pm
(school gets out at 2:45, but
Richelle and
Sarah have Balladiers and
Ladies First practices on Tuesday and Thursday,
so Jerry either
gets to hang out somewhere, like in the library, or
go to the choir room and watch the practices.
Or he might make some friends and catch a ride with
someone else.)
Saturday, January 15, 2005
Hey Dad and Family, I'm at Aunt Nancy's
right now. We went to the Renaissance
thing last night. It was very interesting.
Everyone walked around all types of booths for
about an hour. All the choir students were
dressed up in costume and acted out what type of
drama would have been going on at that time.
There was a kid playing a Jester, and he
was just so dramatic. I don't think we have any
kids like him in Galt; He was loud. As far as
booths there was Palm-reading, tattoo, food, and
hats. There were stocks in the middle of the
room where guards would put people that had
disobeyed. Lauren got put in the stocks,
because she was charged with "dressing Badly".
It was quite funny.
After all of that we went into the auditorium
and watched a 30 minute acapella choir
performance. That was quite good (besides lack
of drums).
Their choir had a lot to it. I enjoyed the evening.

So, how is everything in Galt? I am getting
excited because I start school on Tuesday. I
needed two more shots (tetnus and hepatitis) but
I don't get those for a week.
I'm getting along real well with Uncle Mike and Mikey. I'm getting into the flow of things. I
don't like the water here though.
I think I'm gonna get a big pack of bottled
water for myself. I talked to Greg last night at
the Renaissance thing and we talked about
church. I'm gonna see him there 2morrow.
Well I hope you do good on the Napoleon skit,

2004, this Uncle came to
Coldwater to
record with
Greg Brayton.
The Year of
Lord:

Luke 4:14-20
Isaiah 61:1-4
This song
was written while
UncleRob™
was reviewing the
notes from a sermon he had preached
in Liberia (Feb. 1994).
In the
power of the Spirit, Jesus stood up
to read in Nazareth's synagogue.
He
unrolled
the scroll and spoke from
Isaiah.
Recording Facts: Richelle, Niki,
and Sarah (The Wilson
Sisters) were released from school to go into
the studio and sing backup vocals with Lauren Pierce.
Greg Brayton arranged and
directed these layered vocals in realtime. As is
their custom, St.
Gregory plays all the guitars on
this piece. Jerry Patterson
plays the drums.
