Dear Kenneth Dokkeberg,

I hope this email finds you doing well!

My name is Ryan LaFollette, I’m a young independent film maker, and I’m currently in production of a made for Internet film based on the life of Jimmy Ellis.

I’m trying to find out how to contact Boblo Records to inquire about using some of the music Orion produced with them. I saw your website and thought maybe you could help point me in the right direction.

Thank you for your time and consideration (and your wonderful website, which is perfect for an Orion fan like myself)

Sincerely,
Ryan LaFollette
