Re: A Gal From ABC Called Me Today...

[Guest guest]

Holly,

Was her name A. Troy? Dr. Ponseti told me about this; that he gave

some names and to perhaps expect a call.. so it's legit!

I could swear I responded to this, but it didn't show up after a

day. Hmmmmm....

Yes, it was andra Troy calling from ABC in Boston. She said she

would get back with me via email to let me know where this is

headed. I'm so curious. I'm also curious if she's called anybody

else from the group? I did give her this website - and encouraged

her to join in for more info.

I'm still baffled by this...

Holly,

Not sure if it was the same person, but Dr. Dobbs has been contacted

by ABC news as well. He asked me if it would be okay to give them my

number so I could be interviewed for a piece they are doing. I

haven't talked to them yet but will be talking to her hopefully

tomorrow. I think it is great, I would be interested to know if it

was someone from one of our groups here who contacted them.

I hope that ABC does decide to run this story, did any of you actually

get to talk to the gal who is doing the research - andra Troy? I

called her back but she said they already had talked to all the people

they needed right now and that they would be in touch if they needed

more input. It kind of bummed me out because I really wanted to put

in my two cents. If any of you did talk to her I would love to be

kept informed as to what is happening with the story if they are going

to run it and when, etc.

Thanks,
