Ivan and Hillary, At the risk of heaping more on you and the rest of the list, perhaps it would be worth some phone calls to some of the media people who were notified of these events and ask them why they were not included. Ask them what the problem was. Was it the subject itself, or the presentation to thier organization? Are there more proper ways to approach these requests? I know nothing about how to go about dealing with the media but I do know that in dealing with art galleries and organizations that they have very specific methods you must follow to submit for thier approval and if these criteria are not met, you are not even considered no matter how good you are. Just a thought. Jennifer Ivan M Suzman wrote: > ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) > Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) > Portland, Maine land of lighthouses sunny and crisp 28 deg.
