Aired nationally April 22, 2006
Weekened Edition with Scott Simon.
Some places that I have been told I have been in, but I have not been able to have proof or find out for sure if I have been in are: Blue Times (A collector newsletter) and Manchester Nightly News (newspaper).
If you are a media company, you are welcome to use my my press release and do a story on me. If you do, please contact me and let me know. I think it would be cool to be on Letterman or Leno, etc., about my collection! If you are a radio, talk show, news station, newspaper, or anything else, I would love to have you do a story on me.

While listening to The Huckabee Report, May 29, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. on WIVK, I heard that Knoxville, TN has made it to his broadcast. Some guy here in Knoxville, TN has 21 kids. Yes, you read that right. 21 KIDS! He has these 21 kids by 11 different women. Get this! Huckabee adds this young man only makes minimum wage. I think some neutering is order for young me and women that keep popping out kids like that! Don’t you agree? OH yea, this young man got Huckabee’s big “ZERO”.
On a side note, he also talked about the American Flag and how places say it is offensive to display the American Flag! I find nothing wrong with displaying the American Flag. We ought to be proud to be Americans and show it! It was also like this Marine Veteran that has 3 United States Marine Corp emblems on his truck. His home owners association fines $50 per night your car is parked at your own with any kind of decal on it.

I just wanted to say that Mike Huckabee has been doing a great job with this radio show The Huckabee Report.
It took just a little bit of of getting accustom to Mike Huckabee, being use to Paul Harvey. Paul Harvey will truly be missed. I really enjoyed listening to Paul Harvey News and Comment. We will no longer hear, “And That Was The Rest of the Story” as Paul Harvey signed off from his broadcast.
I love how Huckabee adds his own comments or gestures to the news he presents it over the air. Keep up the great work Mike!
I listen to The Huckabee Report on WIVK 107.7 FM in Knoxville, TN.

So have you ever meet anyone famous?
I have met a few famous people.
I got to meet Kenny Chesney in the mid 90’s.
It was part of the opening of a store that I worked.
I got his CD autographed and a poster autographed too.
I even got to shake his hand and talk to him for a few minutes.
Another person I got to meet was John Duncan Jr.
I met him while I was in middle school at a pancake breakfast a few times.
He was going to come to my Eagle Scout ceremony, but had to send someone as his representative,
since he had official business to take care of. I was presented with an United States of America flag
that was flown over the Capital.
I have got to meet a few others while working at a local newspaper, early on in the 2000’s.
I got to meet a few from Stars in the Smokies in Newport, TN and some at the Foothills Fall Festival in Maryville, TN.
I have even got to meet some local news casters and radio DJ’s.
Who famous have you met? Feel free to leave your comments and let me know!

Last night Paul Harvey passes away. He died at age 90. I always enjoyed listening to his news and comments. Paul Harvey will be greatly missed. My best wishes go out to the Harvey Family. God Bless you all!

I picked me up a copy of the issue of Metro Pulse that I am in.
It is for the week of April 24, 2008, not April 23, 2008.
This publication is out for a week long.
April 23, 2008 must be when they upload the stories to the Web site.
April 24, 2008 is the print date publication for this week.
Best of all, the issue that I am in, is one of the biggest issues they put out!
Best of Knoxville for 2008.
If you can go to a local story here in Knoxville, TN be sure to pick up a FREE copy of the Metro Pulse and turn to Page 15. The article about me is at the top of the page for the streettalk. My photo is even in color on this page!

My story is out. I just wanted to point it out to you.
READ THE STORY ABOUT ME!.
You can read the story by clicking the above link or you can pick up a copy of the Metro Pulse’s April 23, 2008 issue. I thought Metro Pulse came out on Thursdays, but it seems my story was out on Wednesday (today). I bet when they changed to a new printer, they changed the publication date. Now, I need to go to a local store and pick me up a couple copies of this article.
Rose Kennedy, the reporter for the article, did a great job with it. She even took a great picture of me for the article too. What are you waiting for? READ THE STORY ABOUT ME!.
I wonder how many business cards and visits to my Web site I will get from this article?
I guess, I can only wait and see.
Now to my business cards I gained today …
I picked myself up 2 business cards.
iposty sent me 23 business cards today, along with 23 duplicates. He also sent me some “gift cards” for a local person who collects gift cards. I will send those to her soon. Check out Jolie’s Gift Cards for more information. I now move onto a collector in Castle Rock, CO sent me 59 business cards, along with 1 duplicate. Finally, I gained 6 business cards from a normal contributor from Arkadelphia, AR.
My new overall total of business cards is 151,120.
Thanks to everyone who has sent me business cards, those who plan to send me business cards and also those who tells everyone else to send me business cards too. I appreciate it very much.
