It was the 16 mm. sound projector which was used by the U.S. Armed Forces for training and educational purposes. Several local schools got together and purchased a projector to be used in the classrooms. Holy Rosary School purchased one of these projectors and Francis V. Grisé, volunteered to locate rental educational films for the school. He was amazed to find out that educational films were not available for rent in Erie. You had to rent films from places in New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Chicago. He was encouraged by three prominent Erie people to open a film rental library in Erie, and on April 1st, 1947 he opened up the first place in Erie to rent all types of films. Grisé Audio Visual has been a family owned and operated business since the beginning. Francis worked with his son James and his daughter Doris and her husband Dan DiLuzio. Today the third generation of the Grise family is represented by James' children, Don Grisé and Denise Hesch.
