When my wife made the "Ercoupe Quilt" with pictures of member's Coupes taken at various EOC Conventions, we were advised by the EOC Club Counsel to get signed releases from those members whose Coupes' pictures would be used on the quilt. This was done in order to prevent trouble down the road. Not that any Coupe Club member would have a problem, but just to be on the safe side. The quilt was then auctioned at the 2007 convention in Wayne, Ne. and the money donated to the Fred Weick Scholarship Fund. Scott 5458F

I have read much of your work on the 'Coupe and really appreciate all your very well thought out and dedicated work. I am by no means a wealthy Canadian, but were a Video of the 'Coupe Family be produced I would certainly want to purchase a copy. I look forward to seeing how this can come about.

Getting signatures on a release IS standard for anyone in the industry and Don certainly is a professional in the video production industry. AND Don is a long-time Ercoupe owner and lover. Can you imagine how nice it’d be to have a well done, high production quality, factually accurate video “out there” about Coupes? If I were planning to sell an album of pictures of Coupes and people or a book, pamphlet or whatever, charging something to defray part of the costs, I’d be getting releases signed, too. That’s a proper and good thing. I hope we can all help Don produce this program. If he could ever sell it for enough to make a profit, then great. He’s taking the financial risk. I’ll be happy to provide what help I can. This may be our only chance to ever get a quality video done. If I were on the board of directors, I’d make a motion that the club invest what’s needed to make copies and provide useful documents and assistance so this video can have FACTUALLY CORRECT content. I hope all of you who can help, will.
