GQ pitch

16 10 2009

This week I wrote a query letter to the Editor-in-Chief at GQ.

If nothing else, this provided some sense of accomplishment. I pitched my story, inserted a cute photo and said a little prayer before dropping the letter in the mail.

The hook is the airport. Like it or not, this is a big deal here….a major undertaking and a shift in the region.

I am reminded of a quote from the great President Theodore Roosevelt: “Conservation means development as much as it does protection.”

Will a fashion magazine be interested in this story?





Airport Authority Board Meeting

24 09 2009

Went to PFN Board meeting on Tuesday. Lots of major players there, all treated to a lively discussion about grass. Chevrolet Cramer didn’t cut C.W. Roberts much slack. Nevertheless, there have been much more tense meetings. Aside from gardening woes at the new site in West Bay, the Board approved new contracts for insurance providers and lightning detectors. And, in a wise move, the Board politely turned down a request from the Mosley High School Band for $40 grand to march in a parade in England.
