^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 20 deg.

Camilla is correct-that more people calling PBS at 1-703-998-2600 ext.2150 (News Desk for Lehrer Hour) will add to the "count", and help to make it more likely that in April I may be filmed for broadcast. In the meantime, we should support Hilary.. I just talked to Hilary about how SHE can speak for ALL of us. She needed the encouragement. She is going through a TREMENDOUSLY difficult battle to try to reunite her family. Her two daughters possible return to live under one roo fwith their mom and brother, Jed, is what Hilary is fighting for. I spoke to Jed, and asked him to stand by his mom, as SHE WILL BE FILMED TOMORROW!. He promised he will help her. Although I will be "backstage" I am in complete agreement with Barb Mallut.Any one of us can speak for PWP's and CG's, once we understand that when on TV or radio, we always represent, on some levels, all of us , that our stories, however insignificant they may seem at some moments, do MATTER. So, Hilary, I wish you courage, and am 100% behind you. As for my story and the issues surrounding finding caregivers-- if PBS has to wait til April, I'll try Rolling Stone magazine and WBET, meanwhile. I have been e-mailed by someone from WBET ? in Boston? It was erased by accident during a computer disk space crisis two weeks ago, so I could not respond. The writer asked me if I would like to be interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine. The answer is YES. (Publish or perish). DOES ANYONE have either the Boston PBS TV station e-mail address or phone number or contact person, or the same for Rolling Stone Magazine?? Ivan
