To whom it may concern,
I am pleased to write this introduction for Rolly Steele and his company
Production Art Network.
Over the 18 years and more than 50 remotes that I have served as
Supervising Producer for Wheel of Fortune I’ve been proud to hear rave
reviews from our host Venues regarding our remote production staff and
crews. These comments reinforce my belief that I have the good fortune to
work with some of the most professional, organized and dedicated people in
this industry. Rolly Steele and his organization are an important part of this
team.
The very intense, complicated and time sensitive nature of these remotes
requires that every member of our team from staff to our support team
function in a coordinated and professional manner. These key professionals
are our extended production family. Through their dedication to the highest
level of performance we have been successful in mounting remote
productions across the country. We’ve taped in such diverse locations as
Hawaii, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Orlando Florida, and even the
deck of a United States Navy aircraft carrier.
Production Art Network and Rolly Steele have been part of this family for
many years. Rolly and his team have proven time and again that they are the
gold standard in this industry. There has been no production challenge that
we have presented to them that they have not met and overcome with flying
colors.
Special Projects require special people and special effort, and we have
received more than our money's worth from Rolly and his organization. In

addition to providing high quality production services including fully
functional, temporary television studio venues, Rolly has also played an
important role behind the scenes. Rolly has been a great asset in our
continuing efforts to make these remotes more effective. His 35 years of
well earned knowledge and experience has been instrumental in taking an
impossibly complicated workflow, and turning it into a streamlined and
elegant system. This effort has been a tremendous benefit to this
organization.
On more then one occasion I have expressed to Rolly my feeling that we are
as an organization very fortunate to have him involved in our remote
productions. I am looking forward to many more years of continued
association with Rolly and his organization.
Sincerely,
Steve Schwartz
