Is there any way that you can get Robin Meade on CNN HLN to interview me?
Comment by Ted Crocker on October 31, 2009 at 5:10pm
Thanks for the positive responses. I have tons of links to CBG News and CBG Misc. and I'll try to upload some whenever I can. I'll also try to stay on top of all the new news. Hopefully this group will eventually be a storehouse of everything CBG newsworthy and a great source for anyone researching a story to search the archives.

If there's something you think I should post, please send me the link.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Ted

It's a great idea, and I have a lot of information to start on Johnny Lowebow. I will have to wait for this weekend to get that put in.
