WE'RE STILL AT IT!

Here's Melinda looking like she has taken over my old job as a Helicopter Reporter with daughter Morgan, 2 and son Trevor, 4. An adventure!
You have read me talking about Melinda's husband and my good friend Todd. Well, here he is with daughter Morgan outside the helicopter.

Awaiting lift-off!

Trevor at Chili's Restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee with his great smile. I send my Love and Friendship to every employee at this restaurant near St. Jude Children's Hospital. This wonderful staff has been swept away by this sweet little boy who is so outgoing and fun! Recently, the staff gave Trevor a tour of the kitchen and locally, he and his sister were able to take a helicopter ride and receive a visit by firemen on a fire engine. This is what I call "Love in Action". We often hear bad news on television and radio. Here is an example of good news about some wonderful people know how to love!

This empty stage is not complete.
We are trying to change this picture.

While I have not spoken much about our ongoing efforts to organize a benefit concert for 4 year-old Trevor Tredaway, I did want to confirm to you this morning that it remains a viable initiative. I have 5 very kind and dedicated volunteers--4 of them reside in Midland, Texas (where the show will take place). Our Media Plan requires between 4 to 8 weeks of advance notice to maximize public participation. It's not complicated and we have addressed the fundamentals concerning What we are doing, Why we are doing it and for Whom. The two remaining questions we are tackling is When? and Where? This is nothing short of a "Win-Win" proposition for any venue or band who makes the decision to work with us.

When things do come together, the empty stage in the above captioned photo will be full, and the audience will be large in numbers. The entertainment will be one of celebration, and the evening will be unforgettable. I'll let you know how the event progresses. From a "behind the scenes" perspective, we have a small but potent Media Team waiting to assist us. Think of this as a relay race. For those of you who have participated in track or as distance runners as I have, you know that timing and getting one's steps in sequence for the baton hand-off is everything in winning the race and we'll get there. In the meantime, thank you for all good wishes, positive thoughts and prayers. But I especially want to thank each of you who visit my good friend at this address regularly for updates and opportunities to reach out to Trevor:
