OKay, forgive me the service (internet) is spotty but that is the ONLY thing I can say that does not work for me, here in the Pinestead Reef Resort, at Traverse City, Michigan. Everything, and I do mean everything else is FANTASTIC! This is truly a diamond in the rough.

GOOGLE IT!

Now that said, I was telling you that over the next 2 days we will be filming live broadcasts, gathering audio and still photos of veterans in the area (including a WWII veteran!), Traverse bay Farms and the Lapointe Family, the American Legion (of which I am a member in my local area) and much more!

Further, an open invitation has been made to local veterans and military in the area- see below:

If you are in the Traverse City area of Michigan (or further, I do not care as long as you arrive in time to eat) you are welcome to join me for dinner at the Pinestead Reef Resort. Now, be aware this is a potluck-I am providing the main dish and salad but everything else is each of us contributing to make a WONDERFUL meal! This is limited to the first 15 people because during this dinner we will have some special guests joining us. to join us for dinner Tuesday night, please call 801.580.1976 TOMORROW NOT TONIGHT-I get to sleep and RSVP! I will provide you with the room number and time. You get to tell me what you are bringing. :)

Please be aware there will be pictures of us, lots of laughter, and just open discussions of the obvious nature. Come comfy because I will be in jeans or sweats as befitting my mood of the moment. I look forward to connecting!
