Re: [Videolib] William Greaves Productions

2015-01-15 Thread Elizabeth McMahon 
I just got off the phone with Mr. Greave's widow, Louise. The 800 number is
functional. There is a glitch with the online contact form, however, that
she is aware of.

A direct number is: 212-265-6150

She is a little up there, so bear that in mind. However, Louise is eager to
see her husband's legacy perpetuated in distribution, and is working to
ensure that is possible.

Best,
Elizabeth McMahon

As far as I know, the entire Greaves collection went to NYPL Schomberg Center.

thanks, the staff did try to phone and more, but no response…they just may be

Dear Rhonda,

I'm really sorry to say that Bill Greaves died back in August. His wife
Louise always ran the distribution end of the business, but I'm afraid I
haven't seen them for some years now.
