Kristi, we love your book and the time line on Harrisburg,Miss State Capital and the Miss PA pageant. We could have written a made for TV movie on that experience with the state committee at that time. That might be an idea, I know we could sell it to some production house. Maybe we can work on the cast of characters awhile? Love you Kristi and miss you, Blaine
