Lots of families have legends. Ours is about bullfrogs.
The legend is
that our grandfather/great-grandfather, Clifford B. Gosney, introduced the
bullfrog to northern Kentucky.

Founded by award-winning journalist, author, and filmmaker Diane Mason, HOPE Films produces independent documentaries dealing with contemporary environmental, social, and political issues. Diane's recent film, Penguins for Change, is a lighthearted, funny, whimsical look at election day in Antarctica. It also speaks to the changes global warming may have on this exquistly beautiful land and its spirited inhabitants.
In 2005, Diane and Ann traveled to Alaska to produce The Last Refuge: One Woman’s Glimpse of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The film captures the quiet beauty and stunning vastness of a region that is for the most part untouched by mankind, with glimpses of some of the wildlife -- caribou, seals and polar and grizzly bears that depend on this habitat for their survival. The film offers a firsthand glimpse of what will be lost if drilling is allowed. That same year, the mother-daughter duo hand-delivered the film to all 535 members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
