    " Shrub " and " Lovage " a herb based liqueur , were still available as commercial mixers in pubs in Northern England in the 1980s . They were stored in brown glass stoppered bottles . In Alford, Lincolnshire they would drink it with Rum especially around Christmas time . Very nice too .

    Hi Jena, The most pressing issues of the time was animal abuse. I weep when I see abuse, cruelty, or neglect towards animals. They deserve compassion. End animal abuse. From heaven, Jennie Powers must have been watching my salutation for the courage and remarkable work she has done against animal cruelty. In bringing back Jennie’s work to educate our younger generation about abuse and importance, Jena, you did a fantastic job. Your words and work need to reach as many readers and viewers as possible.

    "PINKY" starring Jeanne Crain as a young AA woman passing as a white person. I think Pinky and Lost Boundaries were very important films of the time. I only saw Lost Boundaries twice on TCM, but that was 10 years ago. Thank you for doing this.

      The Historical Society of Cheshire County has a scrapbook and photos and news clippings related to the filming and premier that were gathered by the family and donated to us by Dr Johnston's wife Thyra. The family appears to have supported the film. Two of Albert Jr's songs were even used in the film. And they all gathered in Keene, family and cast, in 1989 to talk about the film's impact.

    "Lost Boundaries": Good film, though the true story is even more compelling, IMHO. One note: *Actor/Film-maker William Greaves was the original host syndicated TV series, Black Journal. (which later became Tony Brown's Black Journal); *Robert L. Johnson is the founder of BET/Black Entertainment Television.
