I am looking for a copy of a PBS program that ran more than 10 years
ago [I believe].
The program was titled "OLD IS SOMEONE ELSE" and was hosted by a
puppeteer named Walen Flowers. It was a program on aging.
I contacted PBS and was told that they no longer carry the tape, and
that the rights to the program had expired.
I also called VidioFinders, a search fulfillment company and they did
not have it.
My next resource was the 'Video Source Book', published by the Gale
Group, which contains a listing of programs available on video, along
with the program's producer and video distributor. This is a reference
book, and is not available in my local library, nor could I find it on
line, so I do not know if the information I seek is in there.
I have used various search engines [including google], with no hits. 



That is what I know and have researched so far.

Just a clarification.  The puppeteers' named is spelled Waylan Flowers
of the puppet "Madame" fame.

I mistyped the name.  It is definetly spelled Wayland Flowers. 
Searches for info on the program however
are proving difficult.

Our library has "Video Source Book."  I didn't find the program listed
there, but our newest copy is from 1998 so perhaps it has been
subsequently released?  Sorry I couldn't help you more.
