On Friday, February 27 the local PBS TV station from Miami came to the park to work on a special show about volunteers at Everglades National Park. The first stop was at Shark Valley where each of us were asked to do one of our programs for the public while the crew taped it, then after that the crew interviewed each of us, followed by a short interview with the both of us and then some shots of the two of us as we walked through the area. It was an interesting experience and really kind of enjoyable. It was also rather flattering to be chosen as one of the programs to be taped. The crew spent just over two hours with us, then went over to Chikekia Area to interview the three Escapees member couples who work there. The project was to be filming for four days in the park with different volunteers in different parts of the park and different volunteer jobs in the park. We were two of the six who do interpretation to be part of the progam, there were several from maintenance, others from security and several other areas. At this point it isn't certain exactly how much time the show will be taking as the origional plan was only an hour and when they left they were discussing the possibility of makeing it longer. They did promise to send each of us who participated a CD of the finished show. A really interesting day!
