Chance Phelps back to Dubois. Phelps was killed in action in Iraq on April 9, 2004. HBO chose to host a public screening in Dubois-the smalleset community in which they have ever done so. David Castro, director of of cooperate affairs at HBO, said of the the screening, "It couldn't have gone better. Everyone was so impressed by the reception we got in the town".
