I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MEET AND TALK TO HUELL. I CAN TELL YOU HE WAS JUST THE SAME IN PERSON. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU HE DIDN'T LIKE HIS PICTURE TOOK. KIND OF HARD TO IMAGINE FOR SOMEONE WHO SPENT HIS LIFE IN FRONT OF CAMERAS BOTH FOR CALIFORNIAS GOLD AND ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. HUELL WAS ASKED BY THE BROADCAST HEAD AT PIERCE COLLEGE LAST YEAR TO TALK ABOUT HIS LIFE ON CALIFORNIAS GOLD. I LIKE WHAT HE HAD TO SAY HE WAS VERY MUCH INTO ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO CHANGE THEIR OWN DESTINY. IF SOMETHING WAS NEED HE FELT IT WAS UP TO YOU TO MAKE THAT DIFFERANCE. THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER IF WE ALL DID OUR PART RIGHT IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE THEIR ARE PLENTY OF THINGS WE CAN DO RIGHT WHERE WE LIVE. HE DIDN'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD SPEND TIME WORRYING ABOUT WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL OR WON'T DO WE NEEDED TO MAKE THAT CHANGE HAPPEN OURSELVES. I LIKED HIS SHOW BECAUSE HE HAD A SERIES AS PART OF HIS SHOWS DEVOTED TO TELLING STORIES ABOUT GREEN COMPANIES AND THE GREEN MOVEMENT. SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL IMPORTANCE OF THIS MOVEMENT BUT HIS SHOW GAVE THE PUBLIC AN EXAMPLE, NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE IN OUR GOVERNMENT SAW OR TOOK TO HEART WHAT HUELL WAS SHOWING. YOU WANT TO FIX THE ENVIRONMENT AND SAVE MONEY SEE THESE SHOWS PASS THE WORD TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO BUSINESS I DO. I HOPE PBS CONTINUES TO RE-SHOW HIS WORK SO MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE AND LEARN ABOUT THIS STATE AND IT'S CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY.
