Friends-- I just called the WETA producer of the News Hour as Hilary suggested, and had to leave a voice mail message. I thanked her for planning the show on PD with MJF and others, and put in a plug for Ivan as a good balance in presenting the reality of PD. Gave my name and number in case she wanted to reach me--who knows? Hope others may do likewise--it can't hurt! Also, for those who are concerned re: Ivan and his CG gap over Christmas, be aware that Hilary Blue, a mainstay of his support network by email and phone, will be out of the country for a week or so starting tomorrow (Wed. 12/16) and Ivan will especially welcome contacts from other listfriends. Even though we are not able to stay with him, we can let him know we care and think of him.
