Hi John,

(And Eric!) Yes indeed, I do have info on J.T., and I'd be happy to chat
further. I never actually knew Jim, but I did know his brother Leo (also a
filmmaker) in the last year of his life, and I still keep in touch with the
Vale family. Jim and Leo are important people in Pittsburgh's independent
and experimental filmmaking history, which is a particular area of interest
of mine. What survives of Jim and Leo's work is currently in our fledgling
Pittsburgh Sound + Image archive, though I know there are also a few things
scattered in other collections. Anyway, always happy to talk about this
stuff!

Truly,
Steven
