Thank you Harriet. I had checked that out at one time. My biggest problem is that right now I am disabled and also am the caregiver for my elderly mother. With that I don't get to travel much or get out to the library or archives much. I have used interlibrary loan in the past, but at this point in my life and the demands of caring for Mom, I just never know when I would be able to get to the library to view the film. It is not always the case but sometimes there are people from a certain area that are members of the boards or lists. I know I try to do that for people looking for things in the Maury County area. I just have to tell them I will get it when I can get out. After I got your e-mail I did go ahead and write the library via e-mail. A lady there is going to get back with me on the costs of getting copies. It is usually more expensive that way, but at this point in my life cost factors are outweighed by availability. Thanks so much for your reply and the information.
