<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:41</time>
<p>of a sudden probably in his 40s has</p>

<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:31</time>
<p>he did publicity films for</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:35</time>
<p>the military as well during World War II</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:37</time>
<p>and he does the reserves in the Air</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:39</time>
<p>Force afterwards and makes the rank of</p>

<time>00:07:41</time>
<p>Brigadier General and then Reagan</p>

<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:44</time>
<p>actually gives him the rank of Major</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:46</time>
<p>General so he's actually the highest</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:47</time>
<p>ranking actor of all time yeah and and I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:50</time>
<p>mean he wasn't just in the military like</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:54</time>
<p>just kind of for show he was in it yeah</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:57</time>
<p>he did it he flew those missions he's a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:58</time>
<p>pilot and so then it goes through his</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:00</time>
<p>movie career with a lot of artifacts</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:04</time>

<p>or so to drive out there yes and it was</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:27</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:54</time>
<p>great experience I have a really great</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:55</time>
<p>gift shop too we bought some stuff from</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:57</time>
<p>there</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:58</time>
<p>um and it was one of our first museums</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:01</time>
<p>that we had ever done and so</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:03</time>
<p>we had posted it online and the museum</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:06</time>
<p>director had contacted me because she</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:08</time>
<p>was like you showed so much of the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:09</time>
<p>museum so if you watch the video you'll</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:11</time>
<p>see a lot of the museum and she was</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:13</time>
<p>concerned that we had showed</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:16</time>
<p>too much that people wouldn't want to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:17</time>
<p>come and visit but I assured her in my</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:20</time>
<p>Graduate Studies for Museum studies that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:22</time>
<p>we had learned that a lot of museums are</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:25</time>
<p>doing these virtual tours now and they</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:27</time>
<p>do them not because people won't come</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:30</time>
<p>visit because people want to be in the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:32</time>
<p>actual spaces no matter how many</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:34</time>
<p>pictures you get of the Mona Lisa or how</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:36</time>
<p>many times you see pictures of the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:37</time>
<p>Sistine Chapel people want to be in the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:40</time>
<p>space and so I assured her that even if</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:43</time>
<p>people do see the museum via YouTube</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:46</time>
<p>there if they want to go they're going</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:49</time>
<p>to go what a virtual tour does whatever</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:52</time>
<p>what a a video on YouTube does is just</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:56</time>
<p>open it up to a whole other audience</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:58</time>
<p>that probably is not ever going to visit</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:00</time>
<p>so someone oversees or someone who maybe</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:03</time>
<p>physically can't make the trip yeah and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:06</time>
<p>it opens them up to see what is in the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:10</time>
<p>museum plus it also opens them up to the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:12</time>
<p>gift shop opportunity so then she was</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:14</time>
<p>she felt pretty</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:15</time>
<p>well assured after that but we also</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:18</time>
<p>noticed too that sometimes museum videos</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:21</time>
<p>can get kind of long yeah so we've</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:23</time>
<p>decided now when we do museums we'll</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:25</time>
<p>we'll Center on a couple great artifacts</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:29</time>
<p>and then leave the rest up to the viewer</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:31</time>
<p>if they want to come and see it yeah and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:33</time>
<p>and that one that was our second or</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:36</time>
<p>third or fourth video I don't remember</p>

<p>our was our first Museum video and I I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:43</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:10:44</time>
<p>way too many hours</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>kind of tweaking and doing all this fun</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<time>00:11:03</time>
<p>to like a 30 minute video so and we do</p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:10</time>
<p>a wonderful life so much and what's very</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:13</time>
<p>interesting about that movie is Jimmy</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:16</time>
<p>Stewart made it after World War II</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:19</time>
<p>so it was kind of he didn't know if he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:21</time>
<p>wanted to get back into acting he had</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:24</time>
<p>some PTSD from World War II and what the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:27</time>
<p>person he plays in that movie</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:30</time>
<p>is different than who he was in real</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:33</time>
<p>life he's more like Harry Bailey when</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:35</time>
<p>you think about it he's the pilot he's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:37</time>
<p>the hero he's the one who went to war</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:39</time>
<p>and he's actually playing someone who</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:42</time>
<p>didn't he's playing someone who stayed</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:43</time>
<p>behind and and so what I really love is</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:47</time>
<p>he's he's not looking for that Glory</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:49</time>
<p>which he personally has</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:52</time>
<p>he's looking to give credit to the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:54</time>
<p>people who who did the other stuff and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:57</time>
<p>actually stayed behind and supported and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>right across the street from where the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:45</time>
<p>museum is in Indiana PA so it's such a</p>
<p></p>

<p>quintessential Small Town Pennsylvania</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:55</time>
<p>and actually one of the other things I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:57</time>
<p>learned it was completely appropriate</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:00</time>
<p>because of your love of It's a Wonderful</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:02</time>
<p>Life was that Indiana Pennsylvania is</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:04</time>
<p>considered the birthplace of where</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:06</time>
<p>Christmas trees first started coming</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>from in in Mass was Indiana Pennsylvania</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:11</time>
<p>so</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:12</time>
<p>um you can kind of picture that in your</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:15</time>
<p>mind right this this small town</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:17</time>
<p>Pennsylvania surrounded by Hills</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:25</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:26</time>
<p>Town Pennsylvania</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:28</time>
<p>um it's amazing because we you also have</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:31</time>
<p>a family connection to Jimmy Stewart so</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:33</time>
<p>while we were there I kept trying to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:36</time>
<p>channel the family connection so we've</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:38</time>
<p>talked about this before but Scott comes</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:40</time>
<p>from a Hollywood history family so his</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:43</time>
<p>great grandfather was a prop master and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:49</time>
<p>Paramount and Universal</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:51</time>
<p>but he did rear window</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:53</time>
<p>and he did The Greatest Show on Earth</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:56</time>
<p>which Jimmy Stewart's in he said he</p>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:16:59</time>
<p>Earth and rear window he plays the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:01</time>
<p>photographer and we have a photograph of</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:04</time>
<p>rear window in the house where he's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:07</time>
<p>setting the windows with the the names</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:09</time>
<p>under the windows you never see that in</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:11</time>
<p>the movie but as the prop Master he's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:13</time>
<p>setting the windows for with the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:15</time>
<p>character with the character names that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:17</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:28</time>
<p>from The Greatest Show on Earth yeah so</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:31</time>
<p>a prop Master would get a script and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:33</time>
<p>just write in kind of things that he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>would need to make and do and and since</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:36</time>
<p>that's what's like circus based he we</p>

<time>00:17:41</time>
<p>props from that movie in his storage</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:45</time>
<p>from like so we're we're connected to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:47</time>
<p>Jimmy Stewart well you're connected and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:49</time>
<p>me through marriage we're connected to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:51</time>
<p>Jimmy Stewart through Hollywood as well</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:53</time>
<p>yeah no it's it's definitely interesting</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:56</time>
<p>um and in going to Indiana Pennsylvania</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:58</time>
<p>was just kind of this neat little treat</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:01</time>
<p>right you really felt that connection to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:03</time>
<p>Jimmy Stewart there and I will say that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:05</time>
<p>that town really does embody that we</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:08</time>
<p>talk about how that town feels like</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:10</time>
<p>Bedford Falls from It's a Wonderful Life</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:12</time>
<p>and the message of that movie is that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:14</time>
<p>Jimmy Stewart wanted to go out and see</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:16</time>
<p>the world he wanted to travel he he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:18</time>
<p>always felt like he didn't have he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:21</time>
<p>didn't do anything with with his life</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:24</time>
<p>but the message of the movie is that he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:26</time>
<p>made an impact on those around him his</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:29</time>
<p>friends and even though he may not have</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:31</time>
<p>been able to travel the world as he had</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:33</time>
<p>wished he had an effect his effect was</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:37</time>
<p>on those around him</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:40</time>
<p>but the the effect of the one man or</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:43</time>
<p>woman can have on the world through</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:44</time>
<p>friends and family it will Echo for</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:46</time>
<p>eternity and I think that's the message</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:48</time>
<p>of It's a Wonderful Life so just as</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:50</time>
<p>Clarence the angel said in that movie</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:53</time>
