Billie is to be thanked for taking a chance on me to write this, for putting up with my sputterings, and for prettying it all up so it makes sense in a beautiful way! LOL
But then, again, it's easy when you have a true "star" such as Luis as the subject!

I love all your work, Mr. G. But I really enjoyed your Banana Republic article last year on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Will you be updating it or rerunning it this year? I am wondering if you know if Jerry will be doing it as I understand he is in very poor health...
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your writings....You have informed me and delighted me for a long time now......and you are very deserving of being One of FR's Finest...

Mornin' ya'll ! Lookie what I found !
Celebrating Elvis' life - 25th anniversary of
the King's death is mostly parties, paradeshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/734172/posts
Excerpt:
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Death anniversaries tend to be somber affairs, as we remember those we loved and admired.
There's no parade in Dallas on Nov. 22. Ceremonies in New York on the day John Lennon was killed, or here in Memphis on the anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, are tearful and melancholy.
In the land of Elvis, things are different.
"Sure, it's sad that he's gone," says Fred Chamberlain, a 39-year-old fan. "But we're treating this as a happy occasion. As time goes on, we look at it differently. This is a way of projecting all the happiness he left for us."
Mr. Chamberlain seems to be a good representative of the tens of thousands of people packed into Memphis this week to mark the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death on Aug. 16, 1977. He's come a long way (from London) at considerable personal sacrifice (he's a school caretaker of modest income) and has gone to lengths that probably seem excessive to nonbelievers (a big Elvis tattoo has adorned his arm since age 16).

Hi JL. Sounds like your trip to the dentist yesterday was a lot more fun than Meek's was earlier on this week....
To: Billie
Hey, wolfie! You're here early, too.
(Is everybody early, or am I just that late?!)Someone must have knocked you off your perch.
You're early, Ms.BillieBlue

20 years after his death, Elvis is King of the Web
From CNN Interactive Writer Andy Walton
Elvis has left the building for good, but twenty years after his death, The King is alive and well on the World Wide Web.
If you've ever had a hankerin' -- and, let's face it, who hasn't? -- to climb into a white satin jumpsuit, scarf a couple of fried banana sandwiches, and try a few karate kicks, the Web might provide just the right outlet. One that won't worry your friends and neighbors quite so much, at least.
