  Turner Program

 In the Spring of 2003, 50 Miles of Elbow Room teamed up with Dan Rose of Little Ruby Pictures to co-produce a benefit / tribute to Otha Turner and Bernice Turner Pratcher, who both passed away on February 26, 2003.

An accompanying program, subsequently cataloged as 50 Miles of Elbow Room #3, was given away to those who came to join us in remembrance and celebration. The program contains several exclusive interview segments and photographs. Click on the program cover to launch it as a PDF. You'll need Adobe Reader to do this.
