Harvey,

In 1976 I sailed into Bahia Mar as captain on a 101 ft. sailboat.  The owner 
of the  had just produced "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest"

While talking to Gene, who was in his condo in FtL., I mentioned that fact. 
Gene came over to the boat and gave me a script for a movie he had written 
and asked me to give it to Saul Zaentz, the owner.

I read it and laughed all night thinking about the script.  A few weeks 
later, when Saul was back on the boat, I gave him the script, who liked it 
but said it was not something he was looking for.

Of course by now you have figured out that the script was of the cult 
classic "A Christmas Story".  Gene also wrote "In God We Trust, All Others 
Pay Cash"

I had fun times chatting with Gene until we left to sail south to the 
islands.

73,  PeteR  N8PR

If you're not a ham you can't appreciate this story.
This is almost 45 minutes long, but has some really funny moments...
