The Birmingham, Alabama connection…

Just returned from a short TV interview on “Talk of Alabama” morning show. Will post a link later when the network posts it!

I’m in Birmingham for a book signing event today and a silent auction, raising money for a scholarship in the name of Jeanette’s friend Lily May Caldwell. Lily May was the entertainment editor for the “Birmingham News”, helped start the Miss Alabama contest, and was a good friend of Jeanette’s.  The auction proceeds will be presented today to Kevin Hill, representing the Miss Alabama organization. Will update this post later…

Update: After a wonderful nostalgic afternoon, we raised $540 honoring Lily May Caldwell for the Miss Alabama scholarship. The TV interview is at this link.

Today in J/N History

1946 Jeanette hosts Nelson's radio show while he is in the hospital with pneumonia. At the end of the program, while still on the air, she says, "And Nelson, hurry up and get well."
