Dear listmembers, Hilary Blue, thank you very much for your great persistence in getting through to the Jim Lehrer News Hour producer, Nicki Hoofe.. You must have had a long, long trail of phone calls to get to her!. I do URGE Listmembers to take up Hilary's request, and call the Jim Lehrer producers, at(703) 998-2600, while this opportunity for VISIBILITY on the Jim Lehrer News Hour has developed. I am fully willing to to champion our cause. . I venture to think that if enough calls come in from the List, there will be a good chance of my being filmed for the show. Everytime the phone rings today, I start rehearsing my superduper unforgettable PWP's need RESEARCH MONEY and have a very hard time alone speech, hoping it is WETA -TV calling from Washington. I will try to report back later--I have dental work (oh JOY) today, and tomorrow morning (oh, JOY). The anti-parkinson's medications seem to be drying up my saliva, and leaving my poor teeth open to attack. Yours, Ivan :-$ (slightly pained smile) ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 39 deg.
