Texas gramma Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Oh, how sad! I wonder if the project will go on with Gerry in the lead. If so, I'll bet Gerry's participation would be a tribute to Mr. Lindsay. I just bought the book and can't wait to read it. Suzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givemeabeach Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Sad news; my prayers go out to his family. I'm sure Gerry would have enjoyed meeting him in preparation for his role in the movie. Hope everything stays on track for Gerry and the production.

GBPhanatic Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 That's too sad! He won't get to see his story on the big screen! But I hope this doesn't deter the progress of the film. I ordered the book a couple of weeks ago from Amazon but haven't seen it yet! I ordered two books at the same time but from different vendors and got the one but not The Bricklayer! Again, this is so disappointing and sad. Delene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
