Hi Sam (Garry),

Just wanted to say what an absolutely fantastic job you did putting together the Division 4 50th Anniversary Reunion at Bell\'s Hotel, Sunday 10th March, 2019. You are such a legend. Want you to know just how much we all appreciate the effort you put in, not only to these occasions, but your continued work on this website. Without all of this, Sam, we would not be able to share all these memories and enjoy these great get-togethers. I\'m sure I speak for all of us. Thank you so much, once again. Lenice xx

The strangest thing I\'ve ever done was to dig a grave on a farm for an episode of Matlock Police,it was in late \'72,and was shot out near Mernda.I never saw the episode,and can\'t remember the name of it.I remember a scene shot at night that had a mad farmer with a rifle looking at the moon. I also remember the actress Rita Moreno coming to Crawfords can anyone remember why? Thanks for a great website of a fantastic Australian Institution.

Regarding earlier comments made by Garry in response to someone who\'d upset him, he states something like...\'perhaps you\'d like to donate your time\'...etc....As a collector of old Aussie Tv shows and films, I\'m wondering what help I could give to keep the Website going.
Would it take much of my time ?. What would I have to do ?.
Please let me know...

In reply to \"Anon\" posted below...

You obviously don\'t realise that this website is totally independent of Crawfords Australia and its sole purpose is to keep the spirit of a great company alive, as well as act as a \"museum\" for the many people who walked through the doors of Crawford Productions. It has been created and maintained as a \"work of love\" with no corporate backing or sponsorship of any kind.

All photos, documents and other material have all been supplied by ex Crawford staff. The website can only exhibit what it is given. There are no vast resources of archival material or records to search through. There isn\'t a bank of researchers working behind the scenes to supply the photos and information that you expect to be on the website. You complain about a couple of staff members having not being acknowledged until recently. All staff listed on the site are there because of a few remaining official staff lists sent in by a few people who kept them as a souvenir from their time at the company. The rest of the names are either from memory, or people who submit details on behalf of other people. What a pity you couldn\'t take the time to do that yourself regarding the people you refer to.
If only Crawfords had taken a photo of everyone who worked there and just somehow, those photos had been passed onto this website, then just maybe a photo of that particular crew member that you complain had been lacking, might have appeared long before now.

This website would not exist without the myriad hours of voluntary unpaid work that has gone into it and will continue to go into it. What a shame that you hide your comments under \"anonymous\" and not your name, otherwise I might have been able to contact you to see if you would like to volunteer some of your time to bring the information on the website up to your expectations. I would have advised you though that it wouldn\'t be easy, as all the records that Crawfords kept, have been destroyed.

There is a button on the homepage that says \"Donate\". A few very kind people have clicked on that and sent a financial contribution in support of the website. I doubt that you would be one of them.

What do you wish to say?  

When I was taping some episodes of Division 4 and Matlock Police on VHS video and nearly all of the episodes of Homicide also on VHS video which the same three classic Crawfords shows were repeating in between late night and early morning on WIN TV, I made and currently working on a petition about getting Crawfords to put Homicide, Hunter, Division 4, Matlock Police, Ryan, Solo One, Bluey, Cop Shop, Special Squad and The Feds on DVD on Facebook social networking site again and this time, it's my group called "Getting classic Crawfords cop, spy and private eyes series on DVD petition" and this is still my petition and plea to Crawfords.
