Finished our first full day of our Colorado shoot with two hours with Cecilia and Ray Dones, who met as young TB patients almost 50 years ago in Denver. Cecilia, whose family was originally from Wyoming (and Mexico), and Ray, also of Mexican descent by way of Texas, fell in love at National Jewish Medical and Research Center, which opened in 1899 as the National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives. The parents of four children and grandparents of nine, the Dones have been married for 48 years! They had great photos and were wonderful on camera -- not to mention gracious hosts on our visit to their home. We have another full day tomorrow, but had we flown here only to get the Dones into our film, it would have been more than worth it. That's me on the left, the Dones in the middle, and Dave on the right. Jeff Toste, now our second-unit director, took the shot. After we wrapped, we drove to Idaho Springs, in the Rockies, a town that... well, I'll let Dave tell it when he blogs...
