IT'S NICE TO HAVE FRIENDS!

IT'S NICE TO HAVE FRIENDS!

    Back in the days when I was on
the news beat my assignments took
me all though northeastern and
central Pennsylvania. Where ever
we drive I'm likely to say "I did a
story here."
    I literally met thousands of
people and left most of them as
friends. Not close personal friends.
But friends, in a general sense.
    When I joined Facebook some
four or five years ago I got a lot of
requests from people who wanted
to be on my "Friends List." Many
wrote of remembering my TV days.
Before long I had a list that included
nearly 3,500 people!
     Lately though I have noticed an
increased number of Friends Requests
from folks who are unlikely to have
seen me on TV.
      Right now, for instance, I have
requests pending from IbNu  Sungkar
Virareal, Gauri Sakhare, and Diletta

Luna to name just a few.

       I can't seem to remember covering

any stories in  Indonesia, India, or

Villamagna, Italy. So unless my

episode of Forensic Files has made it

to those places I'm not sure how these

would be Friends know me or why

they'd want to! If they're already your
friends let me know so we can become
mutual friends. Otherwise  I think I'll
hold their, and a few other requests for
awhile!

       Hope we're still friends and that

all your NEWS is good!
