Today we were visited by a very special individual. As a teenager in high school, or even in middle school, you might have read the book The Hiding Place. In the 1970's, after the production of the book, a movie was made replicating the book. Mr. Bill Brown was the producer to this movie. With a budget of over $2,000,000 , the movie was nearly 86ed because the Billy Graham Orginization couldn't afford it. After a last plea to the public, Mr. Brown was able to get the funding needed. He raised a total of 2..12 million, enough for the production of the movie. Now he is 86, and thriving. He was able to deliver vivid memories of being with Ms. Corrie ten Boom, whom the movie protrays her story through the hardships of the Holocaust in World War Two. Mr. Brown and Corrie became close friends. It was intriguing to hear his vivid recollections of their time spent together. His expressions while talking were as if he was his soul and body were back in the very moment he was describing, and so vivid I felt as if I were with him.
