Okay..I'm not generally one to blow my own horn, but I have to admit that this made my night and I just had to share it with you. I hope you don't mind.  I was doing a little bit of searching for copyright infringements, and I stumbled across an online article that actually gave me goosebumps, as well as a smile. Apparently, this past September, my poem, 'One Voice', that I wrote after 9/11, and submitted to the Main Site, was read at a Tree Planting ceremony at Cal State Long Beach Foundation. The ceremony was in memory of 9/11, and the reading was followed by a moment of silence. I just feel so honored that they actually chose my poem to be read at such a special event. I really wish that I had known about it in advance, but am glad that I stumbled across the article, so that at least I know now. Here is the link to the article in case you're interested. http://www.csulb.edu/~d49er/archives/2002/fall/news/v10n8-tre.shtml And here is a link to the poem, on the Main Site, for those who haven't read it and would like to. http://www.netpoets.com/poems/america/1593001.htm I'm planning to contact the head of the publication to see if there is any way that I can get a hold of a hard copy of the volume in which the article appeared. I know the chances are probably slim to none, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Anyway...done bragging now...LOL. Thanks for listening.

Vicky: Congratulations and the poem deserves the attention. Too bad they didn't notify you ahead of time, so you could have been more involved. Good luck on getting a hard copy of the event! Betty Lou Hebert |
