Hello Sister!

My husband and I have been to Freeport to visit friends for July 4th a few years in a row. Thanks for the welcome.

I would love for you to help me to network. I am a registered nurse but took a leave of absence after my mother passed this summer at age 91 years. On my web site: www.charchet.com I tell about some of my family's story. However, I am the youngest African-American and person from KY who marched right beside Dr. Martin Luther King, JR in 1961 at age 13 yrs going to jail repeatedly for EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS. In KY we have 3.3 million people but only 17% have bachelors degrees and many do not read. My books sell better on the East Coast. I allowed my mayor to know this. He had my web host to design the latest note about "Good Morning America" with his high school friend, Diane Sawyer of Louisville, KY. I pray that I can sell more books around the USA, If you can help me to network--I will pay for your plane flight to Louisville, KY to sit with my family during the filming of a movie by Jerry Bruckheimer who helped Will Smith get started with his movie, "Bad Boyz". Jerry Bruckheimer has the most international movie tickets sold of any film producer. Also you may call me if you would like to or just e-mail me @ CHoll88317@aol.com I await your response.
