Susan, 

    Did Teddy really say that?  

    Whether he did or not, it seems awfully appropriate.  

    Obama, the socialist president.

  I suppose it was Fred, but I prefer one of Teddy's better known quotes and it's very fitting for today.

  Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.
                                 Theodore Roosevelt

  Goodnight,
  Susan

    Susan, 

        One of my favorites was one that Teddy Roosevelt said:  

        Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.  

        Isn't that what we did when we were all in the Rebel Band?  *I* think it was.  

        Regards, 



                                                                    Fred

      Fred,

      I have no idea what a moment like this means and I'm sure many of the Rebel Band members don't either. 
      But then again, the experience is in your heart and I can't speak for them.

      I pray for her and what God has in store for her and her career. She seems very humble.  
      I hope she's for real and not "fooling" everyone with her amateur performance.

      Susan

      The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
                                                 Franklin D. Roosevelt
      (one of my favorite quotes)

        Susan, 

            Aside from Rebel Band members, few people in the world ever have an experience like that.  We know what a moment like that means because we've all been there.  But most others have not.  

            It is my prayer that God Blesses her and her career.  

            I think we'll be hearing of her again very soon.  

            Regards, 



                                                                                Fred

          Fred,

          She is great, there's no doubt about that.  I wonder if there's more to her than meets the eye.
          She appears to be a seasoned professional to me.  As phenomenal as it is, her voice sounds trained.   She walked on the stage and commanded it.  She used her arms perfectly as well as the microphone.  These things just make me wonder.

          She is fantastic and I love to hear her sing.   

          Susan

            Folks, 

                This is absolutely fantastic.  

                I hope you are sitting down when you see this (I'm serious.  You are in the for the surprise of your life).
