I'm passing along this email for those who may be interested in watching. Surely that famous Shelby lamp will be featured...

To those interested in the history of Livermore:
I thought you'd be interested to know that we just launched a new website for the INDEPENDENT LENS program LIVERMORE, airing November 25 at 10:00 p.m. on PBS. Find the site here:
http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/livermore/
Part documentary, part fairytale, part mystery, and mostly comedy, LIVERMORE is a celebration of old-fashioned civic pride in an age of sprawl and coast-to-coast homogenization.
I have included a copy of the website launch release for your information below.
Best wishes,
Sherri Taylor
