Just wanted to drop you a note, that the I-news interview was great. The only problem with I-news, is the fact that the average, uninformed and often ignorant public, could not see it. You should personally visit every media outlet in New Orleans, familiar yourself with the news directors, assignment editors and reporters and give them access to your contact numbers. The truth needs to be told. If I can help you in any way with my contacts, please feel free to call me. Once again, good job. John Marie

[Mike Glasser]

Actually John, Glad you said that. I have done just that and met with the news directors of the major TV stations and quite a few reporters and given out the appropriate contact numbers. In fact, that was how that interview came about. Thanks for the tip and you can be sure that I will take advantage of your offer and "drink from your trough of knowledge".

I agree 100% Mike......you did very well. It's difficult to get in the information that you want to though...when people are just asking the wrong questions.....they know that, and it happens all the time....

Here's looking forward to many more informative interviews!!!!

Like John, if there is anything i can do, you know where i'm at.
