Tonight I was privileged enough to view the world premier of the new documentary by Richard Noiret, titled "Catch The Wind". Mr. Noiret was a D etroiter who moved away, eventually returned to the Detroit area, and subsequently spent two years in the making of this beautiful tribute to the legacy of th e late Coach Mike Walden and the Wolverine Sports Club. He did a wonderful j ob of it, and the production was fantastically full of CR relevant content. Ther e was perhaps ten percent coverage of the speed skating side of the WSC, but almost all the rest was pure vintage bike and bike people, up until the end
that covered the modern velodrome at Bloomer Park and it's new champions be ing produced. I cannot even begin to name all the great people that were part of the WSC success story over the years, but I can tell you that I saw a LO T of old Cinellis and Paramounts in the pics, and clearly one old Colnago hea d shot. Plenty of pics, footage, and heart felt stories.
List member Gene Diggs, was also present tonight, and was one of the interviewees shown. Gene spoke his pieces with great aplomb! There will b e a second showing at the Main Art Theatre in Royal Oak, MI, next Sunday Nov. 2 nd, and I believe more will be scheduled later on. I'll look into acquiring DVD's,
and making them available to CR list members, at cost. One copy will HAVE
to make it into my own DVD library! WOW ... what a great thing this is for
the vintage minded to view!
