FINALLY! It happened while I was in Raleigh!
A reporter from the Richmond Times Dispatch contacted me, interviewed me, and wrote a wonderful article about my mission. And it appeared on the front page! Needless to say, I was overwhelmed. It only took 37 cities. You can find the article on my website under the COVERAGE menu.
I was referred to Bill Lohmann by a woman that I had met at the re-enactment of the famous 1775 Patrick Henry speech at St. John’s Church. He gave that “Give me liberty or give me death” speech just three weeks before the first shot was fired in The Revolutionary War.
While in Raleigh, I made a trip to the three well known universities, North Carolina State University, Duke University, and The University of North Carolina and talked with some students at each about the future of the divided country. Students are generally optimists but they do recognize the divided nature of the populace.
I will be interviewing via Zoom a woman from Morocco who has a PhD and has worked in global health. On my drive from Raleigh to Atlanta, I entered South Carolina and stopped for lunch. Outside the restaurant I met four gentlemen - Joker, Donkey, Lightning and another without a “handle” and without a biker’s jacket. Joker said that he would email me and do an interview. I hope so.
