I attended the premier of "Central Terminal: Saving a Buffalo
Landmark" at the beautiful Montante Cultural Center (formerly St.
Vincent de Paul's R.C. Church) in the Canisius College campus last
night.

Under the tutelage of Dr. Barbara Irwin, Canisius College students
Kirsten Jahn and Scott Richardson began their ambitious work last
December. Enduring extreme cold at the terminal, hundreds of hours of
filming, editing, compiling information and blending it all together,
these two did a fantastic job of telling the complete story of the
Central Terminal. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was
extremely pleased at the outcome. The resulting half hour documentary
was sensitive, informative and moving. A very mature effort from 2 fine
young adults.

There was a brief speech given by Dr. Irwin and C.T.R.C. President
Russell Pawlak, followed by a question and answer session with the whole
panel. There are plans to market the documentary to WNED and the rights
for it will be turned over to the C.T.R.C. Stay tuned to the C.T.R.C.
website for further details.
