Written, shot and edited by Ed and
Bette Sharpe and with the narration of Ed Sharpe and
homeowners Tim Quinn and Bud Zomok "Catlin Court
Historic Home Tour 2008" was produced for the Catlin
Court Historical Assn, and The Glendale Daily Planet / KKAT-IPTV to raise awareness about
the wonderful houses that exist in this bungalow district.
'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 Tim
Quinn and Bud Zomok, and other proud homeowners, this neighborhood
is quickly becoming a sought after address once again.

Sharpe states, "It is a big honor to know something I created won on an international competition
level." Sharpe also praised
Quinn's
and Zomok's narration which " brought life and depth to the
production" he continued" Having just a reporter on camera
at a scene does not cut it.... you have to have participation
with other people that are involved in the story and allow them time
to sincerely address the audience."
Historic building are not a new thing for Bud Zomok as he is the a past Chair of the Glendale Historic Preservation Commission and Secretary Treasurer of Historic Catlin Court Property Owners Association.
Bud Zomok works as the Arizona Division Manager at Advantage Nurse Staffing and is a downtown Glendale merchant when he is not busy on his and Marci's Labor of love, their house in Catlin Court.
Tim Quinn, who has an eye for the art and unique, is now retired from the engineering department for the City of Glendale. Quinn was involved in the creative and artistic construction projects such as the alley-scaping that took place in Catlin Court and re re-work and re-design of Murphy park in downtown Glendale.
Tim Quinn has been a
significant and driving influence in the improvement of Catlin Court
over the past few years. He moved to Catlin Court in 2002 and
worked to restore his historic home gaining the admiration of
neighbors and even national recognition through HGTV filming of his
home.
In addition, Zomok, Quinn and others aided in bringing the entire
neighborhood together to accomplish projects ranging from clean-up
drives to obtaining grants for restoration of properties.
