To Whom it May Concern:
The importance of the filming of Big Stone Gap in the
town and areas of Virginia where the story originated should not be
overlooked. Readers follow a story that captures the hearts as Adriana
Trigiani's story of the people of Big Stone Gap truly has done. People
will travel to Big Stone Gap to "breath and feel" the story --
tourism and preservation should not be overlooked!! It truly would be sad
for Virginia and the area to miss out on this opportunity!
Sincerely,
Cathy Jo Casement
The spotlight of Big Stone Gap would benefit
the region as a whole by feeding new tourism that will consist of
Adriana Trigiani's loyal readers and the resulting fans of the
movie.
