So how does a place, an event, an organization, a person,
A Dummy get into these blogs?
This (Jay’s Blog) incredibly valuable space on WaukeshaNow.com must maximize its’ appeal to reach the broadest audience in an attention-grabbing manner. Careful consideration is given; options reviewed; and topics tested to guard against offending (most) people. …
Or… send something/anything in and I will probably act on it. Having said that, I received the following email from
a very talented local entertainer/ entrepreneur – Mr. Dale Brown:”A few weeks ago I received a letter from my second grade teacher who now lives in KY. (I went to grade school in Whitewater) She saw me on the Today Show and somehow, after many calls to friends in WI she managed to track me down. She wrote to tell me that she will be 90 in November and wanted to know if I’d consider doing a show for her birthday in a historic refurbished theatre where she lives in Marion, KY.
I wrote back and said if the theatre could cover expenses, I’d be happy to do a special show for her birthday. I got a call from her and she was so excited I thought she was going to have a heart attack while we were on the phone. So I talked with the president of the board of directors of Fohs Hall and the board met to discuss my offer. I got a call today to tell me that they’ve found an underwriter for my expenses and that they want to hire me for Nov. 10th. The show will be open to the public but we’ll give special recognition to my second grade teacher who will be there with her family to celebrate her 90th birthday. What a fun story!
If we only had a local newspaper that saw any value in human interest stories.”Dale - while this isn’t quite “the Front Page”, it is the “opening Page” of the Waukesha area of the Journal/Sentinel’s online info vehicle. …”Hmmmm, I wonder if they read their own pages…”
For everyone else: Dale is talented, witty, a local business owner (and employer), really good looking(oops – sorry Dale…) and a Nationally-recognized ventriloquism talent. In addition, Dale is a tremendous asset to, and Board Member on the
Waukesha Education Foundation.
Aren’t you wondering what Dale did to this poor teacher
over 50 years ago that she would remember him now?
