Role of film Timberlane duo takes top award for 'Hometown Heroes'

PLAISTOW — Maree Magliochetti and Luke Botting are interested in hometown heroes for different reasons — one likes to study them and the other aspires to be one.
But when the two Timberlane Regional High School history buffs collaborated on a project this winter, the outcome was award-winning.
Magliochetti and Botting, both 17 and juniors, filmed a documentary on Tom Cullen and Bill Hallahan, two World War II veterans from Plaistow. "Hometown Heroes" won the New Hampshire Public Television Ken Burns War Stories competition, which included entries from high school and college students.
It was also a Jury Award finalist at the New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival and will be included in a 2008 winning film DVD. Magliochetti and Botting were interviewed for a special, behind-the-scenes section.
