nancywdiessner All Messages By This Member #90 Thanks for forwarding this, Bob. I'm eager to hear Arshay Cooper talk. I just saw the film last night, and it is very powerful. I had read his book SUGA WATER, which the film is based on, but nothing prepared me for how forceful and moving the film was. Try to see it if you can.

Beth Notar All Messages By This Member #92 Thanks Bob! I also really liked the book. (I had heard the author speak at PVRC a few years ago, and I think I left my copy at our boat house a year or two ago for people to read). I look forward to seeing the film.
