We have a Celebrity...
some of you may remember Gina Popp. I just got an email from her today and here is your reply...I'm going to have to check it out further.
"Thanks, Rhonda,
So good to hear from you. Have you been on the Her-2 site lately???
I still don't have much free time to volunteer for stuff. Believe it or not, I was invited to do the LIVE 3-hour TV show on Discovery Channel with Ted Koppel, Lance Armstrong, and Elizabeth Edwards called living with cancer. I am the woman in the Red and Black silk Blazer sitting behind Leroy. Discovery usually repeats these things...try to catch it if you can.
I got to meet all the players and talked at length with Elizabeth Edwards and Leroy's oncologist from John Hopkins.
Great FUN!!!
Happy Mother's day,
Gina"

I wasn't able to catch it when it was on. If anyone knows if it will come on again please post it. I would really love to see it. Now we will have to look for Gina also.

I taped the entire show...I can ask my husband if there is a way he can make copies for me for those of you that want to see it? I have it copied on a VHS tape...and we have a combo player that has VHS and DVD. So as far as I know we can transfer it to DVD. (I taped it that night in case I fell asleep or someone called me and inturrupted the show since it was 3 hours.) Now maybe its a good thing I did.
