California
Science Center Foundation
Aft Skirt Installation Will Be First
Milestone toward Lifting Space Shuttle
Endeavour into Vertical Launch Position
for New
Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center
LOS ANGELES,
July 6, 2023 --The California Science
Center will commence Go for Stack, the
complex process of moving and lifting each
of the space shuttle components into place
for Endeavour's upcoming, awe-inspiring
20-story vertical display in the future
Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center,
currently under construction. This
technically challenging feat has never
been done outside of a NASA facility. The
installation of the two aft skirts, the
base of the solid rocket boosters, will
mark the first Go for Stack milestone and
lay the foundation upon which the entire
shuttle stack will be built. This is the
first step in creating the world's only
display of an authentic, 'ready-to-launch'
space shuttle system; complete with the
orbiter Endeavour, solid rocket boosters,
and external tank.
The roughly
six-month Go for Stack process will start
with the installation of the aft
skirts, on top of which the solid rocket
motors will be stacked to form
the solid rocket boosters. This will be
followed by the move and lift of the
external tank, ET-94; then, Space Shuttle
Endeavour's final move across Exposition
Park and lift into place by a large crane;
and finally, the intricate mating of the
orbiter with the rest of the space shuttle
stack. Once finished, Endeavour will
be in a vertical configuration towering
200-feet tall. The Air and Space Center
building will be completed around the full
shuttle stack.
After more than
eleven years on display at the California
Science Center, December 31, 2023 will be
the last chance to see Endeavour on
exhibit for several years until the Samuel
Oschin Air and Space Center opens to the
public. While Endeavour is off exhibit,
the California Science Center remains one
of the largest science centers in the
nation, with
multiple hands-on exhibit galleries,
special exhibitions, and IMAX movies for
guests to experience.
"Endeavour will be
the star attraction of the Samuel Oschin
Air and Space Center, a launchpad for
creativity and innovation that will
inspire future generations of scientists,
engineers and explorers," said Jeff
Rudolph, President and CEO of the
California Science Center. "We are
grateful to be at this point in the
construction of the new Air and Space
Center, and thrilled to start Go for Stack
on July 20 to commemorate Space
Exploration Day."
NASA-KimShiflett
With an impressive
artifact collection integrated with
hands-on exhibits, the Samuel Oschin Air
and Space Center will be a major expansion
that will double the Science Center's
educational exhibit space, adding 100,000
square feet and 100 new educational
exhibits. Guests of all ages will be
encouraged to investigate scientific and
engineering principles of atmospheric
flight and the exploration of the
universe. The Air, Shuttle, and Space
Galleries will provide a unique
educational opportunity for our Los
Angeles community and guests from around
the world, general admission free. The
Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is the
third phase of the California Science
Center's three-phase, three-decade master
plan to develop one of the world's leading
science learning centers. Building
construction is underway, and together
with artifact and exhibit installation, is
expected to take several years.
The California
Science Center Foundation is actively
fundraising to complete this ambitious
project with $320 million raised toward
the $400 million EndeavourLA Campaign
goal. Everyone can help realize this
exciting vision and donations at any level
are welcomed.

40
Years of Munich Filmfest: A Gift to the
Audience
-
TVIMagazine
It's
that time again: this evening, June 23,
the 40th edition of FILMFEST MÜNCHEN
held its opening gala in Munich. Some
1,500 guests from the arts, the film
industry, and local government attended
the ceremony at the Gasteig HP8 venue for
concerts and cultural events.
More than 20 members of the cast and crew
of the opening film "The Persian Version"
attended the opening gala at FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN. Among them were director
Maryam Keshavarz and lead actresses Layla
Mohammadi and Niousha Noor.
They presented a culture-clash comedy and
cross-generational portrait that uses
humor to dissolve boundaries and provide a
positive outlook during moments of bitter
reality. The film is a story about Leila
and her Iranian parents, who immigrated to
the United States in the 1960s. As she
tries to figure out her identity, Leila is
torn not only between her two parents as a
child of divorce, but also between two
opposing cultures. It is a balancing act
that she learns to master. As an added
touch, the film team put on its own
playlist after the screening, bringing the
exuberant mood of the film to Munich.
The approximately 1,500 invited guests who
celebrated the opening of the 40th
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN together included
such prominent figures from the arts scene
as Rufus Beck, Veronica Ferres, Iris
Berben and Dr. Maria Furtwängler, as
well as many other film directors, actors,
actresses, and producers from Germany and
abroad, along with the distinguished
members of the festival juries, including
Doris Dörrie, Friedrich Mücke,
and Sophie Linnenbaum, and prominent
political figures, including Bavaria's
minister of digital affairs, Judith
Gerlach, and Munich's vice-mayor, Katrin
Habenschaden.
Diana Iljine took the opportunity at the
opening of the 40th FILMFEST MÜNCHEN
to thank her team: "We as a team are here
to provide a platform for creative people.
And we do that with so much affection and
so meticulously. That's magnificent. I
wish to thank everyone who has been
working tirelessly behind the scenes for
months to prepare this festival, this
anniversary. Now let's celebrate it
together!"
Minister of Digital Affairs Judith Gerlach
highlighted the exceptional standing that
Munich and Bavaria have in the film
industry: "Over the forty years of its
existence, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN has
developed into Germany's largest
summertime movie festival. And that's not
by chance. Munich is home to outstanding
production companies and studios. Digital
film specialists work here on Hollywood
blockbusters. Munich is a capital of
filmmaking. And FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is
the glittering showcase of this marvelous
German and Bavarian film industry."
Vice-Mayor Katrin Habenschaden was
particularly enthusiastic about the films
from the African continent as well as the
stimulating program of supporting events:
"Despite having turned 40, FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN has remained young and
audacious. The program reflects this; it
is particularly wide-ranging this year and
includes a focus on Africa, one of the
most fascinating regions for cinema. The
associated panel discussions and places
for meeting up are valuable assets to the
Filmfest. This is where the arts reveal
what they can do best, namely bring
different people together to create a
community. With this anniversary film
festival, Diana Iljine is delivering an
impressive farewell performance that will
hopefully resonate well."
Festival director Diana Iljine also
thanked all the partners and award
sponsors for their unwavering commitment
to FILMFEST MÜNCHEN.
For this year's
anniversary edition, the Filmfest has dug
into the archives and will be screening,
free of charge, some of the highlights
from the four decades of its existence,
from well-known classics to best-kept
secrets. Munich audiences loved the
Oscar-nominated film "Beyond Silence" by
Caroline Link when it was screened in
1996. The film tells the story of a young
woman named Lara, the daughter of deaf
parents, who searches for and finds her
own way through life. "Born in Flames" by
Lizzie Borden, "Beautiful Dead Girls" by
Dalibor Matani? and Jakob Lass's "Love
Steaks" are also waiting to be discovered.
"Young Soul Rebels" by British director
and video artist Sir Isaac Julien, who
came to Munich in May as part of a
collaboration with Museum Brandhorst, will
be screened as well.

102- Wheel
of Fortune' names Ryan Seacrest as new
host, replacing Pat
Sajak
June - 27, 2023.
Weeks after longtime Whell of Fortune host
Pat Sajak announced his retirement,
Seacrest revealed Tuesday that he will
takeover hosting duties. The producer
shared the news in a statement posted on
Instagram."
"I'm truly humbled
to be stepping into the footsteps of the
legendary Pat Sajak," he wrote. "I can
say, along with the rest of America, that
it's been a privilege and pure joy to
watch Pat and Vanna [White] on our
television screens for an unprecedented 40
years."
He added: "Pat, I
love the way you've always celebrated the
contestants and made viewers at home feel
at ease. I look forward to learning
everything I can from you during this
transition.
The "Wheel of
Fortune" change of guard comes after Sajak
said on Twitter that "his time has
come."
"I've decided that
our 41st season, which begins in
September, will be my last," he wrote.
"It's been a wonderful ride.
Seacrest, who said
he is "grateful" for the opportunity,"
mentioned about how the move feels "full
circle" for him, as he reflected on one of
his "first jobs" hosting the short-lived
game show "Click" from Merv Griffin from
1997 to 1999. Griffin is a TV legend,
having created of both "Jeopardy!" and
"Wheel of Fortune."
"I can't wait to
continue the tradition of spinning the
wheel and working alongside the great
Vanna White," Seacrest said.
During
his tenure hosting "Wheel of Fortune"
alongside letter turner Vanna White, Sajak
has won the Daytime Emmy for outstanding
game show host three times, with 19 total
nominations. While Sajak will no longer be
the face of "Wheel," which he'd steered
since its 1981 debut, Sony Pictures
Television confirmed that he will continue
a partnership with the program as a
consultant.
Seacrest has guided
"American Idol" from its inception,
hosting the singing competition show since
2002. Seacrest has proven a steadfast
force on the show as it transformed across
the decade and judges cycling in and out
and amid its move from Fox to ABC.
He is also
well-versed in taking up the mantle from
another icon, after assuming hosting
duties for "American Top 40" from
legendary radio host Casey Kasem in 2004
and "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve."
Seacrest co-hosted and executive produced
the holiday special with Clark from 2006
until the renowned broadcaster's death in
2012.
One of his first
jobs was hosting a little game show called
'Click' for Merv Griffin 25 years ago so
this is truly a full circle moment for me
and "I'm grateful to Sony for the
opportunity," Seacrest added to his post.
"I can't wait to continue the tradition of
spinning the wheel and working alongside
the great Vanna White."
Seacrest's new gig
comes just months after he signed off as
co-host of "Live With Kelly and Ryan,"
where he worked for six years Kelly Ripa.
The duo experienced great success in the
ratings. As of his final shows, "Live"
celebrated 29 consecutive weeks as the No.
1 syndicated talk show across all key
Nielsen measures and in 2019, Ripa and
Seacrest won a Daytime Emmy for
outstanding entertainment talk show
hosts.
But,
departing "Live" reduced Seacrest's his
six-job schedule a year "Idol," "On Air
With Ryan Seacrest," "American Top 40,"
"New Year's Rockin' Eve" and his morning
show for L.A.'s KIIS-FM radio)
The
TV host also put his focus to his food
ventures. Seacrest formed an agricultural
company to study the process of producing
extra virgin olive oil and organic wine
and will be releasing his own label,
dubbed "Concento, " and launching new
broadcast media centers in pediatric
hospitals with the Ryan Seacrest
Foundation.

101- SAG-AFTRA
union votes to strike after talks fail
with studios.
(Television Int'l
Magazine)
LOS ANGELES, July 13, 2023 - SAG-AFTRA
National Board's vote authorized a strike
to begin at 12:01 a.m. PT. on Friday July
14 (happens to be on Bastille Day in
France). The Negotiating Committee joined
the members on the picket lines on said
first day of the SAG-AFTRA strike,
including:
SAG-AFTRA President
and Negotiating Committee Chair Fran
Drescher, National Executive Director and
Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland
and the members of the SAG-AFTRA
Negotiating Committee.
The strike took
place at various locations at specified
times namely at SAG-AFTRA headquarters,
5757 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90036;
Netflix, 1456 N. Van Ness Ave., LA, CA
9028; Paramount Studios, 5433 Melrose

Olive Blvd., Burbank, CA 91505; and
Disney: 500 S. Buena Vista, Burbank CA
91506.
SAG-AFTRA move
follows TV and film writers' walkout in
further upending the industry Actors --
similarly to screenwriter already on the
picket line -- have been battling studios
for a pact that would deliver far better
pay and residuals from streaming,
including the use of artificial
intelligence, that have been roiling the
entertainment industry.
Despite the
last-minute involvement of a federal
mediator, the 160,000 member union was
unable to secure a deal with the Alliance
of Motion Picture and Television
Producers, (AMPTP) which represents
studios and in labor dealings. The old
collective bargaining agreement expired
Wednedsday night without a deal in
place.

SAG-AFTRA
leaders describe negotiation talks as
productive
Members of the
Directors Guild of America voted to ratify
their contract, which provides increases
in residuals and minimums as well as gains
on working hours, family leave and
creative rights.
The SAG-AFTRA
contract is set to expire next Friday June
30, and there has been some talk that the
negotiations might be extended if the
sides are unable to reach agreement on all
points by then.
Union president
Fran Drescher and chief negotiator Duncan
Crabtree-Ireland are optimistic saying
they hope to be able to achieve a deal
with the studios.
If
they do, that would avert a "double
strike," in which performers would join
the Writers Guild of America on picket
lines outside the major studios.
SAG-AFTRA
represents 160,000 performers. The union
is seeking robust protections around the
use of artificial intelligence (AI), as
well as increases in residuals and
regulations on self-taped auditions, among
other issues.
The
use of the word "strike" was avoided and
made no mention was made of the strike
authorization approved by 98% of the
membership just before talks began on June

SAG-AFTRA Negotiations extended until July

2023
LOS
ANGELES (June 30, 2023) -- The
Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Producers (AMPTP) and Screen Actors
Guild-American Federation of Television
and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) have agreed
to an extension of the 2020 TV/Theatrical
contracts. The agreements, which were set
to expire at 11:59 p.m. PT tonight, will
now expire on July 12, at 11:59 pm PT. The
parties will continue to negotiate under a
mutually agreed upon media blackout.
Neither
organization will comment to the media
about the negotiations during the
extension.
Actors walkout looming
Hundreds of actors,
delivered a message this week that they're
prepared to strike if the union couldn't
deliver a "transformative deal."
For now, the
decision avoids a possibly painful second
strike for Hollywood, with the actors
joining in a national walkout for the
first time since 1960.
The last time
actors went on strike was in 2000 in a
dispute over their commercials contract.
The previous strike against major studios
was in 1988.
The extension
probably also means the writers' strike
could drag on as the AMPTP tries to secure
a deal with the actors.
SAG-AFTRA has been
in talks with the studios since June 7.
Negotiations got off to a contentious
start when leaders secured a strike
authorization even before bargaining
began.
Like writers,
actors want pay increases to counter the
effects of inflation, as well as increased
pay from streaming as more content shifts
away from traditional broadcast
platforms.
They're also
seeking more regulations surrounding how
actors' voices and images are used by AI,
higher contributions to the union's health
plan and curbs on the practice of
self-taped audition.

SAG-AFTRA And AMPTP Agree to Media
Blackout for 2023 Contract
Negotiations
LOS
ANGELES (June 7, 2023) -- Today,
SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP began formal
negotiations for a new contract, and with
the agreement that neither organization
will comment to the media about the
negotiations during the process.
SAG-AFTRA's current
contract with the AMPTP expires on June
30, 2023.
Writers' strike: What's
at stake and how it could disrupt
Hollywood
LOS ANGELES (June 6,
2023) - Like writers, actors have argued
that their compensation has been undercut
by inflation and the shift to streaming,
which pays less in residuals (fees for
re-aired shows) than traditional broadcast
models.
Other contentious
issues include artificial intelligence and
the lack of regulations surrounding how
actors' voices and images are used.
Additionally, the
union wants to bolster contributions to
SAG-AFTRA's health and pension plans and
curb the practice of self-taped auditions,
a trend that accelerated during the
pandemic.
Studios and casting
directors increasingly have required
actors to submit video of themselves
auditioning for roles, forcing them to
take on audition costs that have typically
been the responsibility of productions,
the union has said.
The last time
actors went on strike was in 2000 in a
dispute over their commercials
contract.
A previous actors'
strike against the major film and TV
studios was in 1980.

Members Approve Strike Authorization with
97.91% Yes Vote
Results Set the Stage for TV/Theatrical
Contracts Negotiations
-
TVIMagazine
LOS
ANGELES (June 5, 2023) -- In a
powerful show of solidarity, SAG-AFTRA
members have voted 97.91% in favor of a
strike authorization ahead of negotiations
of the TV/Theatrical Contracts, with
nearly 65,000 members casting ballots for
a voting percentage of 47.69% of eligible
voters.
The strike
authorization does not mean the union is
calling a strike. SAG-AFTRA begins
negotiations on June 7 with the Alliance
of Motion Picture and Television
Producers. The affirmative vote on the
authorization empowers the union's
National Board to initiate a strike if the
AMPTP won't reach a fair deal with the
union. The current SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical
Contracts expire at midnight on June 30,
2023.
"The strike
authorization votes have been tabulated
and the membership joined their elected
leadership and negotiating committee in
favor of strength and solidarity. I'm
proud of all of you who voted as well as
those who were vocally supportive, even if
unable to vote. Everyone played a part in
this achievement," said SAG-AFTRA
President Fran Drescher. "Together we lock
elbows and in unity we build a new
contract that honors our contributions in
this remarkable industry, reflects the new
digital and streaming business model and
brings ALL our concerns for protections
and benefits into the now! Bravo
SAG-AFTRA, we are in it to win it."

Future," a documentary produced by Matt
Damon and Ben Affleck about how artists
and musicians formed an underground
community of resistance during the siege

"We
are grateful to the people of Sarajevo and
to U2 for giving us the opportunity to
help tell this special story," Damon said

creativity can provide a powerful antidote
to even the most horrific of
situations."

115- Pasadena
Playhouse will receive the 2023 Regional
Theatre
Tony
Award
The Pasadena
Playhouse, the State Theatre of
California, is only the second Los Angeles
institution to earn the honor
The prize, which
includes a $25,000 grant, will be
presented at the 76th Tony Awards on June
11 in New York.
Since the Writers
Guild of America agreed to not picket the
event, thus allowing the televised
broadcast to proceed in a revised
form.
The Mark Taper
Forum, was the first L.A. theater to
receive the Regional Theatre Tony in 1977.
Additional Southern California recipients
are the Old Globe in 1984, South Coast
Repertory in 1988 and La Jolla Playhouse
in 1993.
The
Pasadena Play House
doesn't lack the experiences of various
crisis. In 2010 it was close to shutting
down when most of the staff was laid off
and the rreminder of the season cancelle
while filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Rescued by the generous donors, the
theater was back when producing artistic
director Danny Feldman was appointed to
succeed long-term artistic director
Sheldon Epps in 2016.
Founded in 1917 by
Gilmor Brown, a resourceful theater
enthusiast, Pasadena Playhouse began as a
community theater. Early success inspired
more than a thousand community members to
buy the land at 39 S. El Molino Ave., on
which a state-of-the-art theater was
planned. In 1925, the attractive
Spanish Colonial Revival building, now
included in the National Register of
Historic Places, opened its doors
Under Brown's
leadership, the theater drew attention
through its programming ambition
Survival
of the Pasadena Play Playhas has been
touch-and-go but now brought a welcome
prize, The Tony Award.

Nathan B. Stubblefield, the Man History
Overheard
By
Harvey
Geller
In Life's current Bicentennial
issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot
"100 Events That Shaped America," 19
buttons behind Bell's telephone.
Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's
dots and dashes as the first wireless
broadcast, a fable echoed by the World
Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's
a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence
offered on the following pages has not,
until now, appeared in any national
publication.
The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre
soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of
mystery, machination, ephemeral
enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and
disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six
miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a
two-room shanty constructed of pine and
cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated
architect is discovered 48 hours after his
death, his records scattered, his
equipment destroyed, his brain partly
eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to
mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly
Stubblefield, the man history over-heard
and then overlooked.

Cory's Road to
China;
Troy Cory was among the first
international entertainers and the first
American entertainer to perform in the
People's Republic of China, beginning in
1988. In itself a notable
culture-historical feat, in view of
China's closed door policies of the late
70s and well into the 80s. The PRC's
administrative climate in comparison is
much less restrictive now and China's open
door policy enables many entertainers to
introduce themselves to the populace
Chinese audiences.

the first entertainers from the United
States to appear in a full staged program

It was there Cory met Jiang Zemin, then

Rice, Hawaiian Tropic founder in 2004
accompanied the Troy Cory Show on a

Rice
died May 19, 2022 at the age of 81 in
Daytona Beach,
Florida
He grew up in the mountains of North
Carolina, and fell in love with the
beaches of Florida on a childhood visit.
He made his home in Daytona Beach, where
he worked as a high school chemistry
teacher and part-time lifeguard.
It was at his part-time job that Rice was
inspired by seeing people all over the
beach using Coppertone suntan lotion. He
became determined to create a unique
competitor, using his chemistry knowledge
to experiment with a suntan lotion
formula, scented with coconut and
fruit.
He famously mixed his first formula in a
garbage can, bottling it at home in his
garage with a $500 loan from his father to
launch his business. He named it Hawaiian
Tropic to evoke an exotic beach
locale.
His experiment was a hit making him a
multi-millionaire, with his Hawaiian
Tropic suncare brand creating sales of
$110 million per year.
Ricewith his Hawaiian Tropic brand became
known for sponsoring beauty pageants and
NASCAR racecars.
In 2004 he accompanied Troy Cory to a
concert tour through China.
After
selling Hawaiian Tropic to Playtex in
2007, Rice returned to the industry in
recent years with the suncare brand Habana
Brisa.

Scott B. Whitenack-Stubblefield Esq.,
great-grand son of wireless telephone
inventor, Nathan B. Stubblefield,
died
- By Troy
Cory
Scott Bryan Whitenack passed away
untimely on September 18, in Los Angeles,
CA.
Scott, aka Scott
Stubblefield, was one of four children
with siblings, Alden, Keith, and
Priscilla. (His brother Keith pre-ceded
him in death at the age of 32). His
parents were Troy Cory Stubblefield, an
entertainer and author and Dorothy
Swafford, owner of a furniture and
antiques retail store. Scott's children
are Steven, David and grand-children,
William, Bruce, Cora and Max, borne to
Steven and Skylark. Scott's
great-grandfather is Nathan B.
Stubblefield, the inventor of Radio, in
1882, and patent holder of the wireless
telephone (1908) and his great-great-great
.... grandparents were - John and
Priscilla Alden who were part of the
pilgrimage who sailed on the Mayflower to
Plymouth Rock from England in
1620.
(The
Stubblefield story is incorporated within
several photographs and denotes of and
about S Scott to show how their personal
ambitions and dreams parallel each other -
both died - before their dreams and
ambitions were
fulfilled)
During
the time he studied for the State Bar,
Scott lived with Josie and myself on our
family estate in Pasadena. He passed the
State Bar the first time and was among
only 33% to do so.
The balance of time was spent doing
cinematography for my TV shows, which he
considered an artistic outlet besides his
major life's work, in the field of law.
After he passed the State Bar he handled
numerous legal cases and ended up working
as an associate lawyer with Melvin Belli
with whom he engaged in several cases and
won a lawsuit that became precedent case
law. Whitenack was committed to his legal
profession for over three
decades.
r
If
you needed legal advice or help with a
motion filing, Scott was there with his
trusty law books. He was very intelligent,
outspoken and an independent thinker.
He
also was a family man, who loved hiking
and scuba diving, a good game of tennis
and enjoyed bringing his sons to Paramount
Ranch for regular family outings and
Father's Day get-togethers.
As
to his love for cinematography he
videotaped additional segments for the
movie "Christmas around the World." Scott
later became my producer and
cinematographer for "To Catch a Dream"
filmed in Europe. The video project
brought him and the production team to
Paris, Venice, Cannes, Munich and
Salzburg. Said footage with perfect
picture-book pans of the Eiffel Tower, the
Seine River, the leaning Tower of Pisa and
the Venice Bridge of Sigh, is a legacy he
left behind for us.
In the early 90s
during the writing of our 4-volume set of
books entitled "the SMART-DAAF Boys" about
the invention of radio and the the
wireless telephone, Scott lent a helpful
hand in giving his legal aspect of his
great-grandfather Nathan Stubblefield's
copyrighted and patented invention. He
also was the co-author of "Bank America,
the Tortfeasor."
Scott
as a teenager with John Wayne
at LA Herald-Express columnist Harrison
Carroll's Cinema Reporting Prize press
conference.
His
favorite poem is found on a card he
prepared for one of my Father's Days
titled "The Force That Through The Green
Fuse Drives The Flower."
He
leaves behind his father, Troy
Cory-Stubblefield, his mother Dorothy
Steele, sister Priscilla Stubblefield
Cory, brother and sister-in-law Alden and
Sara Stubblefield, step mother Josie
Cory-Stubblefield, sons David and Steven,
daughter-in law Skylar, and
great-grandchildren, William, Bruce, Cora
and Max; Nephew
Ryan White, and niece Jenny Wharton. His
brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at
the age of 32.
