Years ago, when I was a librarian for the Air Force, I had an activity called The Reincarnation, Near Death Experiences and Other Spooky Stuff Discussion Group and I had collected a number of appropriate videos. I recently needed one of the videos to be seen by somebody so I put it on YouTube. It's 11 minutes and on NDEs. Hope you like it.

Just got a new update from Reed regarding my email---Forgot to ask you how the 2 big band gigs went. And what happened to the new video? --- The past couple gigs were just little combo gigs, not big band. We still rocked the house though! One was at the Ritz and the latest was in Ponte Vedra at some doctor's house. Cool little house on the beach. I don't know an exactly date for that video, but I do know its almost done.---I'd asked him about the new promotional video that Crescendo Amelia had commissioned and was supposed to be available last month.

So something completely new for me this weekend. We worked the big women's golf tournament here in Sioux Falls. I was a marshal which meant I basically encouraged people to be quiet. The tournament was part of the Symetra Tour which is just under the LPGA. As part of tourney we also housed two of the ladies, Paola Moreno from Cali, Columbia and Veronica Felibert from Caracas, Venezuela. Nice Girls. Both made the cut but neither got into the big money.------------------------------------------------ Added--So the winner got about $30K--Here's how our girls did:
