"Would you like to come in where it's warm?" makes me think of "Come in from the cold." and I've heard Joni talk of the importance of "having a good heart" which Hannah has in spades in this movie.I sat in tonight and watched it and felt quite moved thinking of Joni at this time and everything that has gone in to make her the person she is including the heartbreak of living knowing your child is growing up without you and the courage it must take to live with that. This was a surprising and heartwarming story, quite inspirational.Lots of thoughts for a good life/heart in it as well.Again, thankyou .

While we were talking Papa's faith is in people came sounding through the air and we both smiled remembering Joni's love for him which she sang very proudly of in that song.

Back in the '70s, New York's Channel 5 was WNEW, an independent station that was starved for programming (prior to becoming a FOX network station). It devoted a large amount of its broadcast time to movie re-runs. It was also the station that originated the catch phrase, "It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?"

CC Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:51:50 +0000 Subject: Re: Hana Film From: daligay@googlemail.com To: sem8@cornell.edu CC: ckarma@hotmail.com; joni@smoe.org Thanks very much for this wonderful wee film, cKarma. It has so many things that resonate with me in regard to Joni. "Would you like to come in where it's warm?" makes me think of "Come in from the cold." and I've heard Joni talk of the importance of "having a good heart" which Hannah has in spades in this movie.I sat in tonight and watched it and felt quite moved thinking of Joni at this time and everything that has gone in to make her the person she is including the heartbreak of living knowing your child is growing up without you and the courage it must take to live with that. This was a surprising and heartwarming story, quite inspirational.Lots of thoughts for a good life/heart in it as well.Again, thankyou .

Geraldo came from WABC-TV Channel 7 where he did his breakthrough Willowbrook State Hospital story. I think Ernie started at WABC too (a Wiki search should end that speculation), but is now on WNYE (formerly WNEW) Channel 5. Damn, Ernie has some FINE neckties. Do a Google search to refresh Ernie's on-air gaffe a few years ago. The video is pretty amusing.
