Barry Morrow Gives Emmy Award to Univ. of Iowa

[lanexap]

Barry's speech took place after the DVD of "A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story" was created, so it is not included in the special features, however it is on the BillSackter(dot)com website. The DVD has nearly two hours of extras along with the documentary and director's commentary.

For those of you familiar with Iowa City, the Premiere event is on the DVD, and it was the last event before Hancher Auditorium was destroyed by the floods of '08.

-Lane Wyrick, Director/Editor

This was just wonderful to find! I will be ordering a DVD soon. Wondered whether anyone knew if this speech was included perahps in special features?

The movie and story of BILL had a great deal to do with my mother entering the special education field, and I'm now old enough to appreciate the kind of person it takes to do so. Barry and his "team" are just extraordinary.

Great speech! Thanks for posting.

I love the Bill movies! I'd love to see the documentary.

I had no idea that Barry was also involved in creating 'Rain Man'.

If only there were more people in this world who cared as much about others as Barry. That's a true hero in my book.
