Glendale, AZ, December 19, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Ed Sharpe director of CouryGraph Productions, who oversees The Glendale Daily Planet - KKAT Streaming TV, Glendale Arizona's own homegrown Internet video news source; is the recipient of a Silver Davey from the 2006 Davey Awards Competition. The award was given for CouryGraph Productions video Catlin Court Historic Home Tour Home #13, which was narrated by homeowner Tim Quinn.
Tim Quinn and Lori Green have been a significant and driving influence in the improvement of Catlin Court over the past few years. They moved to Catlin Court in 2002 and worked to restore their historic home gaining the admiration of neighbors and even national recognition through HGTV filming of her home.
In addition, Green and Quinn brought the entire neighborhood together to accomplish projects ranging from clean-up drives to obtaining grants for restoration of properties. In addition Green was the recipient of the Ruth Bryne Historic Perseveration award for her work in the Catlin Court Historic District community.
Commenting on CouryGraph Productions award, Tim Quinn said, "Your video profile on the Home Tour has proved invaluable as a tool in the Catlin Court District's efforts to bring knowledge of our neighborhood to a broader segment of the public. I am appreciative of your skills in capturing the very essence of my home."
Lori Green continued, "...You did a beautiful job on capturing the experience. The music really sets the stage. ...You made my house look absolutely charming."
Catlin Court, which began in 1914, was one of the earliest, fashionable neighborhoods in the township of Glendale. Many of the former mayors, wealthy merchants, doctors, reverends, builders and educators lived in these homes. Through the work of Quinn and Green, and other proud homeowners, this neighborhood is quickly becoming a sought after address once again.
