In Loving Memory Jamie Ott

ANNIVERSARY

Nov. 10, 1972 — Aug. 8, 1994

Remembering Jamie Not, how did he die, but how did he live?

Not what did he gain, but what did he give?

These are the units to measure the worth Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Not, what was his church, not what was his creed?

But had he befriended those really in need?

Was he ever ready, with a word of good cheer, To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,

But how many were sorry when he passed away.

Jamie is sadly missed by many friends and family.

It’s been 15 long years since we’ve seen our son and brother.

We love and miss you very much.

Jerry and Mary Michelle, Billy, Carson, Jason, Holly, Paige and Cayle.

Thank you On behalf of the board and staff, I’d like to express my appreciation

to the people of Clear Lake for their incredible support of the 3rd Annual Iowa Independent Film Festival. Your patronage helped to make this our most successful festival yet. Attendance was up over 50 percent from last year. This year’s audiences were very knowledgeable about films, making the various question and answer sessions lively.

With the growth of the festival, we hope to add a third venue next year.

This will allow us to accept more submissions and to shine a spotlight on Iowa for visiting filmmakers. Our out-of-town guests this year could not have been more complimentary of Clear Lake and many of them hope to return.

Thanks again and see you next year.
