Testimonials for April Bell: "This is just a note to let you know how "well received" the DVD which you crafted has been. From our video-taped discussions, you captured so many stories and memories which I am now able to pass on to my family and friends. Many of the stories had never been recorded. Now I am certain that others will find them of interest in the years to come. At my age, I think I have passed the "autumn years" and approaching mid-winter, so I suspect that my grandchildren, and perhaps even their children, will someday find it interesting and will appreciate that "Granddad" took the time to tell a few stories about the unique experiences he had way back in the 20th century. Thank you for the unique experience of recording some of the highlights of my 84 years. You did a super job!"

"Everyone I showed the video to was really impressed and happy with it. If anyone I know wants to get something like this done, you will be very highly recommended by me. I thought the video was very well done and you have been a consummate professional to work with. My grandmother really liked you too, and after she sees the video I'm sure she will tell at least half of the city about it and how great it is!"

"Thank you so much for capturing the essence of each landscape practice in the University of Florida's program "Florida Yards and Neighborhoods: Florida-Friendly Landscaping". To condense all the information down to the most important in each video is a credit to your organizational skills. Your creativity enhanced the promotion of the total project from the opening format that related each video to individual location settings you selected to highlight a particular landscape practice. I appreciated your guidance throughout the filming sessions, drawing out information when I felt there was no more. You are an obvious professional and a pleasure to work with."

"Nice job! I am very happy with what you have done. It shows the world that thoughtful leadership together with the cooperation of many Rotary clubs in concert with other world agency's can an do make a real difference in a world of indifference to pain and suffering. I appreciate your work ethic and attention to detail in creating this first rate production of Cliff Dochtermen's lifetime of service within Rotary. It allows us to preserve the great legacy of Cliff for all Rotarian's to be inspired by in years to come."
