A Free Press Exclusive

The audience is totally engaged. The actor says, “I don’t know why I’m writing this.” The sound resonates in the screening room of the Argenta Community Theater. “Maybe it will help me.“

The dialogue is from a scene in what local filmmakers term an Arkansas short. This one is directed by Lyle Arnett and is titled “December 1982.” It’s Saturday, the second to the last day of the Little Rock Film Festival. The “Made in Arkansas” film premieres are been considered.

“A highway shall be there and it shall be called the Holy Way;
the unclean shall not travel on it, but it shall be for God’s people;
no traveler, not even fools, shall go astray.” ~~ Isaiah 35:8

I have a dear friend who just turned 66 and is contemplating retirement after 40 years in medicine: he wonders what he could have done if he had more time in his career or if he had more time in retirement.
