Has it been five days since I wrote in this thing?
Anyway, Friday,..Dr.Greene, Roszelle, and myself..(yours truly!),..gave the Keynote Speech at the Ohio State Social Work Educators' Conference at nine am in the "Berry Room," in the Nutter Building on the campus of Wright State University. We spoke for an hour and a half, going over our speaking time by thirty minutes..and we got a standing ovation!!
Can you imagine two hundred people...clapping for something that you and your fiiends have said? Can you imagine giving a speech that went a half hour over time,..and being told that what your speech was..."way too short?" It was an exhilerating experience!! We sold ten books right there on the spot after the combined or tri-unal speech that all three of us gave!!
Then, Dr. Brun,..head of the social work dept. at Wright State, asked us to participate in a radio interview, which we all later enjoyed doing after lunch!!
I went ahead with The Rev.'s personal assistant to a Bob Evan's Restaurant and met Questing Truth or QT..(my nickname for her!!)......and Shakespeare,..who made a special trip up to see us and have lunch with us!!
At the time,..I was so nervous that I must have sounded like a six year old entering Navarre Elementery school and having to be told to speak clearly in English!! The restaurant was more crowded with people than our town square is crowded with at the Fourth of July Picnic every year!! There must have been at least three hundred folks all together in that place!! I was begininng to wonder if the air was still good to breath in that building..everyone was crammed in so tightly!!
I must have passed Shakespeare at least six times until i finally asked her if she was Shakespeare and she asked me if I was me!! I said, "Yeah!....Yeah!!"
Then,..she knew that it was me!!
Even I cannot pronounce the dots!!
QT already knew Shakespeare and she just walked up to us at the entrance of the Bob Evans!! We all walked into the entrance of the bob Evans and sat down and waited on a table!
(have to go!)
