Thank You Patrick !!! IT was a great surprise finding them the other day !

I found this video today from a local program in 1998. When  I was hosting one of the first Wash Ins a local TV program run by Esther Ferdinand  asked me  to be included to record the event for the local TV station. A human  interest story !   Well digging down many layers of files this popped...
