His contact is <br /> terry@lexmedia.org. <br /> Memorial Day 2020 (May 25, 2020): <br /> • Lorain noted that a draft script for a video production to be created by the TCC for <br /> Memorial Day 2020 was distributed previously. The video is intended to replace the <br /> usual public parade and wreath laying ceremonies normally held on Memorial Day. <br /> • Mary Hutton briefly summarized the script and asked for feedback from the committee. <br /> • Several committee members offered to send still pictures to Terry to be used in the <br /> production. Linda offered to review all the photos offered by Wei Ding and send a <br /> selection to Terry. June Baer noted that she has a large collection of photos of previous <br /> years' celebrations that she will also review. Terry requested that all photos be sent to <br /> him by May 16. <br /> • Lorain noted that there will be one narrator(Paul O'Shaughnessy) and several readers <br /> (Gina Rada, Glen Bassett, Gresh Lattimore) of the script who will need to be recorded for <br /> the video. Terry suggested that they could send him their own recordings or come to the <br /> Lex Media studios for recording. <br /> • Kim Coburn reported that she has met with the High School Music Director to discuss <br /> music to be used in the video and that they have come up with a list of suggestions. Kim <br /> will send the list to Terry and he said that he will download the desired recordings <br /> himself. <br /> • Jill Hai suggested using existing Lex Media footage of the High School band playing the <br /> military service songs. Terry agreed to look into that. <br /> • Mary Hutton reported that she has sent a draft of suggestions to the Lexington Public <br /> Schools of ways to get student participation in Memorial Day. <br /> • Mary also volunteered to speak with George Gamota about including the list of WWII <br /> veterans. <br /> • Steve Cole suggested asking the Minutemen Captain Commanding to read the <br /> introduction to the script, or have a TCC member in Colonial dress to read the intro. <br />
