My wife was a constant source of inspiration, working night and day without a word of complaint. Always telling us that America was a great country, and that we were going to make a good life for ourselves in California. I think the rest of us, which included my son, my daughter-in-law, their two children and myself were having second thoughts. But we were meeting so many nice people, who were also trying to build a new life, that we couldn't help but press on.

It was about this time in 1987 that we first met the lovely Ona Zee and pretty little Debbie with the gorgeous eyes. I no longer remember how we met them, but they were a breath of fresh air. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They would put their all into any part you asked them to play. They never complained about retakes or the time it took to shoot a video. They were the best we ever worked with before or since.

Debbie had no previous modeling experience, but she was magic to work with. Our first video together was "Painful Memories," and in it she played opposite another newcomer, Leslie Fay. My son Tony and I did all the shooting and we were apprehensive to say the least. Our equipment consisted of one Sony 3 Chip Camera, a 3/4" Sony deck, three film lights and a microphone. All had been purchased used. And we were working with two first-timers that we really needn't to have worried about.

As soon as the tape started to roll we knew that we were making something special. Debbie was a natural, and she just oozed with sweetness and charm. And with Fay providing the action we just let our cameras roll. But nothing runs smoothly for long, and because our equipment failed repeatedly we did lots or retakes. Poor Debbie! When we began to edit we learned that we had lost some excellent footage and had to cut it back to 20 minutes instead of our usual 30 minute tapes. Nonetheless it turned out to be one of our best spanking vides and is still selling to this day, thanks to the girls. To the best of my knowledge "Debbie's Lesson" is the only other video she ever made. This was the last time I ever saw her, and I think that one day she just rode off into the sunset. I hope good things happened to her, as she deserved it. She truly was one of the best.

Trisha Monroe star of Pacific Force's: " Discipline Down on The Farm", and "Spanked in Front of The Class", Shadow Lane's " A Brother's Advice" and Brooks Applications " Over Auntie Janet's Lap"- On September 11th, let us remember and light a candle for those who were lost.

To this day, I sometimes watch the video, just to enjoy the interplay between Debbie and Ona Zee. Ona now has her own production company, and I'm sure she does well with it. But I feel that perhaps, if the dice had fallen differently, that Ona could have made it big time in the mainstream film industry. She had everything: good looks, a good figure, and the ability to act. Sometimes when I watch this video, I feel we titled it incorrectly. It should have been called "The Tennis Lesson." I think how truly lucky we were to have had these girls to work with. We merely pointed the camera, but their performance was pure magic. I think it is to this day one of the best spanking videos ever... Perhaps I'm biased, but why should I be? Tony and I never made it, the girls made it for us! And they deserve all the credit.

We have recently re-cut these two titles from the original camera footage and combined them into one tape. Titled "American Spanking Classics" it is available by mail order from Cal Star Direct.
