Hello folks, >From 1 to 69------thank you all for joining my initiative. Now, janet REALLY deserves our community's thank you, for keeping the tv-ready list in excellent shape. Listing oneself is the beginning. To each of you, I wish to pose one question: Ready? On camera, if you had just 2 minutes, what talking point or points would you emphasize? What waould your message be? We all, myself included, will benefit from a discussion of our most crucial talking points. Janet, are you able to add a line to the introduction to the list of 69 tv-ready pwp's and caregivers, reminding people to be prepared well in advance of going on-camera? Oh, a funny thought, on-camera almost is the same as "on-set"! Ivan ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 30 deg.
