Here's a short article by Eugene Burdick that I put together and narrated to video after finding about 100 photos by Carl Mydans of Life magazine on the internet. He took many great photos of Muk, Jay, and Hugh in late 1962, then published only a few in Life Magazine for an article written by Eugene Burdick, author of 'Fail Safe', and others, in addition to the classic novel 'The Blue of Capricorn', which includes some of his adventures in the south pacific. The video I made is a narration of Eugene's 'Ideal for a Few, Maybe Not for You' about his family's favorite vacation spot, Moorea. He talks with Hugh, Muk, and Jay, and others that lived on the island, including the Kellums, and his feelings and beliefs about the people of Moorea. The story might not be politically correct, but it is an interesting view from 1962 of the most beautiful island in the world. It's 25 minutes long, and in three parts on you tube. I haven't showed these to Muk or Jay yet, but I'm sure they will enjoy the photos, and video re-creation.
Hope you enjoy.

PS-The video clips used in the film are from movies taken by Harry Wright in the 50s on Moorea.

Fantastic....I loved it. Very well done. Thanks for sharing with us.
I think Jay and Muk would love this. Have you sent it to them? I'm pretty sure I have Jay's email if you need it.
