Porter Ranch Gas Leak - Relocation

Hi All - Some of you may know that I have been relocated from my house due to the gas leak at a SoCal gas facility in Porter Ranch, CA. It is terrible - I have been quite sick due to the fumes that have been leaking since for months.




 I am in the process of getting all my 354th media drives consolidated and backed up. It may be months until it is safe for me to move back. I will keep you all posted. Thanks to all for your support and help with the projects through the years!!!




All the best Jon Teboe

Thomas Whelan was a member of the 354th Pioneer Mustang Fighter Group Association after the war. It is through this association that I met the men of the 354th and was able to start my documentary series.

Going through my video footage, I just found this gem!

Getting Closer

As a one-man post-production crew, it takes quite a bit of time to write and edit these WWII mini-documentaries. Especially since this can only be done during my non-work hours and weekends.

My main goal over the years has been to edit at least one segment about each man we interviewed and post them on youtube for them and their families to see.

Lately I've been spending much time, prepping these videos and additional segments to make a multi-dvd collection to sell.

I just submitted this artwork for printing on our DVDs. The DVDs will include the videos already posted on youtube (with out watermarks) and with higher video quality AND new segments and never seen before interviews!!!

I'm going through all my material and trying to make as many extra bonus materials as I can using interviews not seen before.

I'm sure it will be a few more months, but I owe it to the men of the 354th and their families to make the best dvd collection I can that will honor these heroes!
