The Muse is Loose

Our long-time friend in Taft, Lynne Lavender, made it big this week on "Good Morning, America". With her poster board sign and excited smile she actually got interviewed by the "star" weather guy. I watched it all yesterday afternoon. My daughter-in-law, Ranell Pogue, taped it when she heard the lady was from Taft. She does not know Lynne.

Lynne had gone to New York City for the 9-11 events. Of course she did not know she would get interviewed,or even get a front row place outside the studio. We are pleased for her. She had her exciting moment in the spotlight. Now, she can cancel her airline ticket home and just soar home, flapping her arms!

Lynne was a member of my Junior Choir in Taft in the sixties. She was serving as pianist when we left the church there in June. Ann and I are so happy for Lynne and her "thirty seconds of fame". We will hear about it forever!
